Yeah, this is where I started. As a beginner, I used to find chess books a bit daunting. Heavy with long lines and variations. Nothing like that here, a user frendly book that puts you on the right track and increases your interest.

Very nice book to learn the game and have a general overview about tactics, strategy. Exercises are very useful and I found some of them really tough. A lot to learn also in the exercise solutions. Definitely a good book to start.
