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!

Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). 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.
