Could be The Complete Chess Course, but it has a chapter about nine bad moves.
thx.....I just ordered this book yesterday, to check it out.....it could be a book just b4 he found the 10th, or maybe after he dropped one.......the printing date is old enough that it could have gone out of print.....

Reinfeld wrote a number of bad books
yea, but these 2 chapters, combined w/ one book he co-wrote w/ I. A. Horowitz pretty much puts you in the drivers seat, in the opening.
Espically w/ players that arent book learned, and I have pissed more than a few book learned players off too.......thx 4 your input...

Well, thats me.....probably havent played 25 games in the last 25-30 years, til the past 6 weeks....my brother-in-law was a grandmaster, and gave me the book I'm looking for.....along w/ this statement, ''if you dont read the whole book, at least read these 2 chapters''' which helped me get a jump start on understanding how the game should be played.....combined w/ Chess pitfalls traps and swindles, really got me off to a good start, understanding the opening....thx 4 your thoughts............
