This book is for the non-chess player who wishes to learn properly, from the beginning. It will also be useful for those who know, or used to know a little about chess, and wish to improve their understanding or refresh their memory. The rules of chess are systematically explained in simple language. The book is a good introduction to winning strategy, with particular emphasis on the openings, where so many players go wrong! D.B. Pritchard is acknowledged as one of Britain's top chess writers, and as a player he has held many titles.
