"Chess Rules of Thumb" gives you the winning principles of chess in
clear, short statements. Three-time US Champion Lev Alburt and
World Chess Hall of Fame Curator Al Lawrence have put together
three centuries of insights from the masters. Fun to browse or to
read from cover-to-cover, it's a book that all chess playersfrom
beginners to grandmasterslwiull enjoy for a lifetime. Like life,
chess has its rules. The difference that your parents probably
didn't tell you about chess. "Never cross the street before looking
both ways." "Never discuss portable explosives in the airport
security line." "Never overthrow the cut-off man." "Never download
email from someone you don't know." "Never take the queen's knight
pawn." Save hours of head-scratching and uncertainty in your own
games and understand why the masters make the moves they do: "The
worst square for a White knight is b.2." "With rook vs. two
knights, exchanging queens is worth a pawn." "Never capture the b.2
pawn with the queen." "Rooks united on the seventh are blind pigs."
"The winner is the one who commits the next-to-last mistake."
Backed up with diagrams and illustrations to help you remember key
principles, a glossary of essential chess terms and a rundown on
all major openings, "Chess Rules of Thumb" will improve your chess
play. And it's great fun to read "Never buy a chess book that isn't
fun "
