I’m going to be honest. I am a very bad chess player. I need all the help I can get so I figured if this book, The Gambit Files by Steve O’Brien, could help my game then it deserves five stars.
Mr. Harvey does a wonderful job explaining all of the attacks and moves accompanied by clear and easy to understand diagrams. He is a chess teacher after all and I have become a most willing student. It is not only for beginners, in fact it is probably more so for those who want to perfect their skills with moves from various countries and time periods. All in all, if you enjoy chess or just want to give it a try, this book will give you some great pointers.
