5 Best Chess Books For Beginners
Hey everyone, this is ChessLord_I with you again.
Today I will share with you with one of my favorite chess books, enjoy!!!!!!!!
1. Chess 101 by Dave Schloss
Author Dave Schloss describes Chess 101 as a self-contained beginner’s chess course.
The book offers everything a complete beginner would need to know to play the game, from topics as basic as the board and pieces, to the structure and rules of chess tournaments.
It also includes sections on how to study chess and tips for winning your first games.
"The moment I opened Chess 101, I knew Dave had accomplished something great: a truly simple guide to learning and enjoying the game.
2. Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess by Bobby Fischer and Stuart Margulies
Fischer’s beginner book focuses on teaching tactics via “programmed instruction,” which asks the student to actively answer questions on every page.
Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess crams so many tactical positions into the course that when you think you’ve reached the end, you can turn the book around and read back-to-front for more tactical problems printed on the opposite pages.
3. Winning Chess Strategies for Kids by Jeff Coakley
Designed for children 7 to 13 years old, Winning Chess Strategy is part of a series of beginner workbooks by Jeff Coakley.
The workbook starts with the rules of chess and quickly progresses to strategic ideas like opening principles and piece development.
It also includes sections on tactical combinations, endgame technique, and middlegame planning.
4. The Steps Method by Rob Brunia and Cor van Wijgerden
The Steps Method is really a full beginner’s chess course, featuring six training manuals and 20 workbooks. The course and books were developed from material by two Dutch chess teachers.
The Steps have been used primarily in Europe to teach children to play, but the course is “gaining popularity throughout the world,” according to its publisher. Of the 27 total books available in the course, 26 have been translated to English.
The course is based, obviously, on a step-by-step program to build one level of chess learning on previously mastered material. The books urge teachers not to proceed to the next lesson until “the student can use the material in his games regularly.”
5. Beginning Chess by Bruce Pandolfini
Beginning Chess includes an introduction on the rules of the game before proceeding to the heart of its material, more than 300 instructional chess problems.
Pandolfini offers a scoring system for the student, who can rank his or her progress and results on a graded scale of categories from beginner to master class.
