"Best Lessons of a Chess Coach" is an ideal choice for the chessplayer who is ready to move beyond knowing the moves and basic ideas of chess. The authors have set up a very reader-friendly format, with each chapter consisting of one illustrative game, deeply annotated in a coach/student, question and answer format. Reading this book is very much like having one's own coach sitting on the other side of the chessboard, asking questions about various moves and explaining the reasoning behind them in a supportive, friendly manner. Many important concepts are brought to light in each of the illustrative games. It's clear that the authors know a great deal about how to help players assimilate information into their own knowledge base. The best feature of the book is that the reader can use it at his/her own pace, and the thorough explanations should keep the number of unanswered questions to a minimum.Read full review
