How Not to Play Chess

B+
This classic text provides a compact collection of advice
on chess strategies.  A short, easy book to read, the author
wastes no time and cuts right to the point in deliviring his
suggestions on the various problems one must avoid in playing
chess.  Directed mostly at intermediate players, the book
comes in very useful in explaining the many "gotchas" that
inexperienced chess players frequently fall into.  This book
typically sells for a very low price, due to its small size and
old age, but it is certainly as valuable as many modern texts
at three times the size.
