basically it is a bunch of pictures of chessboards w/ games in progress, and it tells you who moves next,and how many moves to mate, then has the solution on the opposite page.

there is no discussion of the scenarios, just the problems and solutions, really exposes chess for what it is, a game of memorized experience.
