I have recently become interested in playing chess again. I played occasionally when I was younger, and I know the basics of how the pieces move and check/checkmate/stalemate/etc., but I only ever played with the strategy of "get the king". I'm looking for books that would be good for beginners. Some that have been suggested are:
"Pandolfini's Ultimate Guide to Chess" - Pandolfini
"Chess 101" - Schloss
"Chess Fundamentals" - Capablanca
"Batsford Book of Chess"
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
