"A First Book of Morphy" by Frisco Del Rosario is an excellent book. It is targeted principally to less experienced players and those new to the game. In fact I have highly recommended it for that audience in my article.....(search 'Morphy')...
Good Chess Books for Beginners and Beyond...

At the beginning of the article, I created a short list of what I refer to as 'First Books' for those just starting out in chess. Del Rosario's book is included in that list along with "Pandolfini's Ultimate Guide to Chess" (search 'Pandolfini') which does an excellent job of teaching how to conduct a complete game of chess. For those new to the game, it explains all the why's and wherefore's in detail. I recommend to read this prior to, or concurrently with the the Morphy book. Both books are also commented on in more detail further on in the article.
Hi.
Does anyone know “A First Book of Morphy” by F. Del Rosario ? It collects about 60 of Morphy’s games, through which the author illustrates the 30 general principles of opening, middlegame and endgame formulated by Ruben Fine.
I thought it might help me, that I haven’t very clear ideas on how conduct a game correctly.
So, I would ask you experts: based on your experience, do you think that a book like this could be useful to a beginner ?
Thank you as always.
