Synopsis:

This right-to-the-point book by one of the game’s foremost teacher-writing teams uses a breakthrough approach to teach chess fast! Chess for the Gifted & Busy also provides the most time-efficient review of important techniques for chess veterans, even masters.

You choose the level you want to achieve. Want to go from absolute beginner to neighborhood champ? Complete Level I in an afternoon, play some practice games―and you’ll quickly be saying “checkmate”! When you’re ready to become a tough tournament competitor, Level II cuts through the mysteries of strategy and tactics to show you just what you need to know. And, if you decide that you won’t settle for anything less than being an Expert, near the top levels of tournament chess, Level III delivers all the essential knowledge!

Chess for the Gifted and Busy is a condensed but comprehensive summary of the entire Comprehensive Chess Course series, also available from W.W. Norton. 800+ Illustrations

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good but could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, small staining on edge or cover or pages. It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than acceptable. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books, and only gift Very Good or better. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
