From Booklist
Many amateur chess matches are battles to see which player can postpone the fatal blunder the longest, so noted chess teacher Pandolfini presents 100 common errors that get intermediate players into trouble. He assumes his student knows the classic openings and follows the basic principles of chess--controlling the center, opening files, etc.--but is bedeviled by bad habits such as taking out the queen for an aimless drive around the board. That's an easy cure for the Doc, who prescribes lots of rest for the lady until midgame; Pandolfini handles the harder diagnostics by grouping symptoms of losing into the opening game, midgame problems of piece exchanges, and miscellaneous mistakes made with pieces (as with castling) or with the crucial c and f pawns. For each sickness, he provides a diagram with commentary to illustrate each error. Kasparov may not need Pandolfini's handy Rx, but 99 percent of coffeehouse hackers do. Gilbert Taylor
