Reviews
Review Quotes It's really a good guide book for complete novices at chess. This will teach you all the basics of developing strong opening moves. It makes no assumptions that you have a strong chess background and breaks everything down into laymen terms nicely. It's not just a bunch of mock games played out in screenshots like so many other chess books. This book covers the most popular openings and discusses the various pros and cons of going with a particular strategy. It covers basic defence strategies and some of the most popular defence techniques developed by Grandmasters. I thoroughly enjoyed this easy to read well-written chess guide. - Joseph Cardi As a former academically and intellectually gifted teacher and chess club coach, I feel this book would be an excellent resource for teaching students (or beginners) the strategies involved with chess. The author describes a variety of opening moves in a step-by-step manner, which is well-explained and simple to follow. Furthermore, the book provides examples of possible opponent responses, which is a critical skill to hone in on when learning the game. The board illustrations are engaging and informative, making it an invaluable tool to prepare students for competitive matches! - Mary Anderson Chess Openings for Beginners' is a great resource for new chess players; young and old. Craig Medina does an excellent job of explaining good moves and avoiding common pitfalls. Control of the centre and King's safety at the start of a match will give the reader an advantage, and to recognize what the opponent is trying. Five wholehearted stars. 'Chess Openings for Beginners' is easy to follow and understand. I recommend to anyone old enough to comprehend the strategies; 12 or so and up. - Michelle Ronin
