Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess Paperback – Illustrated, 1 January 1992

Recommended book for beginners. Packaging was good.

Initial stage book. Good one to start.

The printing or binding of the book is mixed up half of the book is upside down it's more of a practical knowledge book so it will work for me. When I started reading it I understood that all the pages are in sequence and when you get in end of the book you can rotate the book and then it is in sequence again no headache.

Before you buy this book, you need to know three things:1. This book does not have anything to do with the famous chess grandmaster Bobby Fischer. He did not write it. The publishers merely paid him to put his name and image on the book. But the book is still great, unique, and is of immense help to beginners.2. The book does not teach you how to think like a grandmaster, but it does teach you how to not think like a rookie. The entire book is focused on basic mistakes. Therefore, naturally, there will come a point in your chess career when you will no more use any of the techniques in this book. At that point, you might think, "that book was a waste of money", but in reality, it has already done its job.3. You still need a basic chess book to go with it. This is primarily a puzzle/problems book that you practice on the side.Beginners often do not consider the positions of all the chess pieces when they make a move. They focus only on the piece that directly attacks any of their pieces. As a result, they tend to overlook obvious traps and mates. That is what this book teaches. It is essential, and does a great job of doing what it does.

After two time, same problem with the printing and not collecting the return

Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess is an incredible book and an absolute must-read for chess novices. It’s free of jargons or overly technical terms, offering simple yet engaging puzzles that help you think like a chess player. For beginners, the game can often feel overwhelming with its many possible moves, but this book shifts the focus to what truly matters: problem-solving.It’s straightforward enough for my 9-year-old to follow and enjoy. If you love solving puzzles, this book is a treasure. And if you’re looking to start your chess journey, I’d recommend this book even before investing in a chessboard. It’s that good!

Good for beginners. Helpful in understanding how pieces move and various mating combination. Nothing on openings, mid games and strategies
