[Carl · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this book. Chernev has a love for the game, and a love of the artistic which is shown in his writing. The chess could be compiled in different ways, but this is not really an instructional book, it is more motivational.

I'd give it 5 stars, but Chernev has an annoying reverence for Capablanca, and yes Capa was great, but so were others.

Playing through the tatics in this book is what truly led to my love of chess. (Oh, the hours wasted during college when I should have been studying.)
