Rezensionen

Clear, elegant, sophisticated and easy to understand ... Just the thing to get you in the thrall of this ancient game.

Shenk's book possesses an almost inestimable advantage over the many other publications about chess. . . . You can be an utter novice, just a simple wood-pusher, and enjoy the author's engaging prose, honest self-deprecation (he's a lousy player), and the charm of his personal connection to the game.

Elegant ... A superb introduction to the game of chess
