	The Game of Chess by Dr. Siegbert Tarrasch
$17.95

Lessons in Classical Chess From the
 Greatest Teacher of All Time!

While there are many chess manuals available, few have achieved the lofty stature of The Game of Chess  Fewer still have been written by a legendary International Grandmaster whose teaching skills rivaled the chess prowess that enabled him to demolish world-class opponents at the board. An immediate success upon its first publication, The Game of Chess has become one of the game's enduring classics, considered by some critics the finest book ever written on the game of chess.

The Game of Chess Leads to Success

Part of The Game of Chess success stems from Tarrasch' s unorthodox approach to teaching chess: "employ quite another method and one analogous to that a mother uses to teach her child to talk. I play with the beginner from the very start in that I put before him simple positions and from them explain the fundamentals of chess. It is the intuitive method of instruction. In this way the pupil learns chess quite easily, of that I am convinced."

The Game of Chess is Great for Beginners

To make it easier for the beginner, in The Game of Chess, Tarrasch also reverses the order in which the game is usually taught. Instead, he begins with the Endgame, since "obviously it is easier for the beginner to deal with a few men than the entire thirty-two."

Then follows the heart of the book, an important and extensive discussion of the Middlegame. Analyzing the most important parts of hundreds of games, Tarrasch presents a comprehensive treatment of combination play, an aspect of chess for which he was especially renowned.

He deals last with the Openings, with a brilliant essay on general principles, followed by comments on various systems.
