Review of Chess Strategies for Beginners
As a casual chess player, I was drawn to this book when I saw it and decided to pick it up. "Chess Strategies for Beginners" is a walkthrough guide that includes helpful chess tips for both novice players looking to master the game and experienced players looking to improve their skills. If you fall into any of these categories, you will not be disappointed with this book.
Eric H. Schuelke began this book by providing a brief history of the game. This entailed its origins and the fact that the game has ancient roots in many civilizations. It was interesting to learn this because I had never attempted to learn its history on my own before. The updated information was greatly appreciated. It then went on to discuss how various tactics and strategies were used in the game. Tactics are short-term game plans, whereas strategies are long-term ones. Several opening play patterns were introduced, and they demonstrated how they incorporated the various tactics described. This was made possible because the book had previously explained how to read the board. I liked the simple language used to describe these points because it made the descriptions much easier to understand.
To aid comprehension, graphical images were used to provide a more accurate description. Real-life games from famous chess masters were also used to support his points. The author's extensive knowledge of the subject was evident because of the way he described why some of those moves were made and the benefits they provided. This enabled him to easily explain the various opening and defense strategies while playing on either side of the board. These thorough analyses made me appreciate the amount of research that went into this work.
Chess is a game that requires a lot of practice to perfect your skills. I liked the emphasis on practice because chess is not something you can just read a book about and become an expert at. Taking all of this into account, I give "Chess Strategies for Beginners" 5 out of 5 stars because I could not find anything I did not like about it. As I previously stated, this book would be extremely beneficial to both beginner and expert chess players in terms of improving their game.
