Hey guys!

Do you know any chess books, mainly targeted to beginners and intermediate players, that use a chess lesson format?

For instance, that it present 1-2 games per chapter to clarify a specific topic....similar to "from beginner to expert in 40 lessons" and "40 lessons to the club player" by Kostyev or "365 chess master lessons" by Soltis?

Thanks!

Many books do that.

Last night I was looking at Capablanca's " Chess Fundamentals" and it is set up that way.

Soltis' books probably start as compilations of his newspaper columns.

I own capablanca's chess fundamentals and it's not exactly this way I guess....it's more like a text book, right?

Of course he uses real games, real positions, but it's not in a lesson format, in which he chooses 1-2 games to clarify a topic...rather than explaining the topic using a number of positions....maybe I'm not explaining my self clearly in English :-)
