Chapter five deals with opening principles, while chapter six provides an overview of the most popular chess openings.

Cherrypicking quotes from a review and ignoring the essential is your usual method to mislead.
Chapter 2 has all elementary checkmates including 2 bishops vs king and Bishop+knight vs king, plus the King and pawn vs king endgames. A kid has to learn these immediately after he learns how the pieces move(Chapter 1) according to Averbakh.
That's the important.
Do you see "2 bishops vs king and Bishop+knight vs king, plus the King and pawn vs king endgames" mentioned by WGM Natalia Pogonina in the review? Do you suppose that she was trying to mislead?
You are misleading by cherrypicking from a review that is close to perfect and emphasizes at the important points.
So, I gather that you don't want to claim that the review itself mentions "2 bishops vs king and Bishop+knight vs king, plus the King and pawn vs king endgames" and you don't want to claim that WGM Natalia Pogonina was misleading by not including a sentence that mentions "2 bishops vs king and Bishop+knight vs king, plus the King and pawn vs king endgames".
Well I think beginners should start simple
