GREAT BOOK

THE PAPER BACK BOOK BOBBY FISHER TEACHES CHESS IS BY FAR THE

EASIEST TO USE AND HAS BEEN HELPFUL TO ME TO SEE CHECKMATE IN 2 OR 3 MOVES AND I RECOMMEND IT TO ANY CHESS PLAYERS WANTING TO IMPROVE!!

I haven't read the book you posted about but Susan Polgar's Chess Tactics For Champions sounds very similar.

I have had bobby fisher book 25 + years and loaned it to a friend @ work we play at lunch he's gone through the book 3 or 4 times & is seeing better & making less mistakes ... thanks to all for replies and comments. hhrman

the susan polgar books rule

With the Fischer book, I too think it's great.  It gets you into the habit of looking for mate and leads to more intuitive play.

Personally, I can go for any book of problems.  You can use the patterns you learn, and nothing helps you learn rough and tumble tactics like problems.

you smell funny

I recommend "Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess" to my beginning students, especially younger students because it cuts right to the heart of the matter. The "Chess Kids Book of Tactics" is also a good choice. The problem with many chess books, at least for newer players, is a lack of clear, easy to understand explanations. Fischer's book gets right to the point! Thanks for the posting!

I have a signed copy. Btw I work near Beach & Telbert.

Is there also a video about this book?

I have this book in a french translation. Very good.

Shouldn't this be in the Bump forum?  Kidding 

That Fisher book is VERY helpful to me, as a relative beginner.

I'm halfway through, and don't know what to read next though...

I like the "Move by Move" series. Great way to learn.
