This handbook on chess introduces chess to beginners. This edition is fully revised, and the original descriptive notation which used to describe the moves has been replaced with modern algebraic notation. The chapter which deals with world champions in men's and women's chess, has also been completely brought up to date. The book teaches: the moves of the pieces; the rules of the games; simple openings, middle-game developments and the excitement of end-game strategies.
