The classic introductory guide--over 250,000 copies sold--now revised with over 25 percent new content. For novice players, the complexities of chess can sometimes seem overwhelming, but you don't have to be a genius to play competitive chess.  This fun and easy guide takes the intimidation out of the game, explaining the rules and lingo, demystifying popular openings and strategies, and showing players move by move how to push an opponent toward checkmate.

For this new edition, Chess Master James Eade has updated chapters on chess computer programs and online play, added new material on today's chess tournaments and top players, and revised information on Web resources and chess organizations.  Copiously illustrated throughout with chessboard diagrams, this is just what people need to get started with chess or take their play to the next level.
