    The book looks to be brand new, better than described! It was shipped quickly, and I'm glad to say it survived being packaged in only a mylar envelope. I would like to see better packaging, but what the hey, it arrived in one piece, so I'll be grateful for that. I would not hesitate to purchase from this Seller again. Thank you, halfpricebooksrecordsmag, for a perfect transaction!

  • An extremely important chess book for anyone to easily build their chess skills.

    This book was developed by Laszlo Polgar to train his 3 brilliant chess daughters, Sophia (who went on to become an IM and WGM, Susan (GM and WIM who went on to become Women's World Champion, U.S. Women's Champion, for some time top ranked Female in the World), and Judit Polgar (Youngest at age 12 to top 100 FIDE, GM at 15, top 10 in FIDE for men/women for many years), with numerous accolades for supporting chess/women's chess. If you study the numerous Mate in 1 problems, then Mate in 2 becomes easy because you know the 2nd move instantly. If you study the numerous Mate in 2 problems then Mate in 3 becomes easy because you know the last 2 moves instantly. Then study the Mate in 3 ... phenomenal chess reference.

  • Wrong Description

    When I selected this book it was described as a hardcover edition but now that it has shipped it is showing as a paperback edition...guess who is done with eBay...
