About the Book

Chess books - worthy, depressingly dull, visually dire. Well think again! "Chess - From First Moves to Checkmate" completely re-writes the rule book. Rejecting the conventional annotation-heavy approach in favour of good design and artwork, this inspiring title should seduce a huge range of readers from novice to intermediate player. Computer-generated artwork recreates the chessboard, pieces and moves in an original way, providing the perfect guide for the complete beginner. Players are encouraged to improve their play with grade puzzles. A comprehensive reference section includes a full glossary and website details. The book also explores the history of chess. Along with features on the great personalities of chess and awe-inspiring matches, this is a title that should appeal not only to those new to the game but the massed legions of chess players aready out there.
