Concise Chess: The Compact Guide for Beginners
As I chess newbie, I picked up this book for two reason:
1) it was short (77 pages)
2) it had good reviews on Amazon.
I was very surprised that this little book was the perfect quick introduction to chess for a beginner.
It covers everything you need to play and with plenty of suggestions and tips.
What it does not cover is chess strategy or openings, mid or end game strategies. That is beyond the scope of the book.
I actually learnt enough about the game, setup, rules and etiquette of friendly chess games and tournaments.
The author surprisingly kept it very concise and engaging unlike my initial perception of all chess games (complex, aimed at chess nerds and threatening to be as mundane as a law book. No offense if you are a lawyer!).
I'd recommend it for any hobbyist, total beginner or even someone who casually plays chess. Guaranteed you'll learn a thing or two.
Now go play and beat your friends :)
