The book is entitled:

'How to play better chess

From clever opening moves to mate'

Got this for christmas some years ago and it is not as bad as the cover implies. The photographer however deserves to be fired.

Perhaps the knight's supporting f4 ! f3 is free for the queen as well..

This cover shows the Albin Counter Gambit, but is about the Tarrasch. Not too bad a book IMO. I know Eric has got some stick in the past:

Ne, od nekega pevca. Kliknil sem samo zato, ker je bil s šahovnico na naslovnici.

NOW, this is a candidate for the most useless chess book you could buy:

I bought one of those reprint books of a different title  

Chess History and Reminisces by Bird, H.E. 

Might be interesting if it was readable.

I think I have you beat.  Most of those reprints are total crap from the production standpoint and sometimes the contents.

Mine was done is such a small font I can't read it even with my reading glasses on!!!!!!!!!!
