About this product

Product Information

A one-of-a-kind masterclass in chess from the greatest player of all time. Learn how to play chess the Bobby Fischer way with the fastest, most efficient, most enjoyable method ever devised. Whether you're just learning the game or looking for more complex strategies, these practice problems and exercises will help you master the art of the checkmate. This book teaches through a programmed learning method: It asks you a question. If you give the right answer, it goes on to the next question. If you give the wrong answer, it explains why the answer is wrong and asks you to go back and try again. Thanks to the book's unique formatting, you will work through the exercises on the right-hand side, with the correct answer hidden on the next page. The left-hand pages are intentionally printed upside-down; after reaching the last page, simply turn the book upside-down and work your way back. When you finish, not only will you be a much better chess player, you may even be able to beat Bobby Fischer at his own game

    Chess book

    This book i read over 10 years ago when i was in the chess club in middle school. I recently bought another copy for my now little nephew who wants to learn. The teaching strategy of this book is great for beginners or semi advanced players. Very easy to understand.

    upside down right side up

    interesting way the book is designed, it is both upside down and right side up, not very impressed with Prof. Fishers ideal scenarios for chess moves, seems kinda elementary, Perhaps chess has come a long way since those days? hm.

    Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess

    Let us be first aware that Bobby Fischer did not write this book. He allowed for the use of his name. The authors are Stuart Margulies and Donn Mosenfelder, both of Educational Design, Inc. You will not need your pocket set for this book, only a pencil. Each page contains a diagram in which you are asked to find the best move, show the first move in a combination, et cetera. I hated to write in a book, but went ahead with it anyway, as the alternative would be overly complicated. The entire book concentrates on Endgame alone. The first half of the book I breezed through in about a half hour--very simple problems. When you are finished you turn the book upside down and begin from the back of the last page, which is now the front of the 1st page, 2nd half... These take quite a bit more ...

    From the basics iinto applied strategies and endgame awareness

    This is probably the easiest way to learn chess and learn to play it well. The book takes a moment to get used to because Bobby Fischer did not like the idea of flipping pages back and forth or breaking the book spine by folding it to read the opposite page. Instead he wrote the book entirely on the right side as if it were single sided. Then, halfway through, the book flips ovr and continues the same way back to the page that was on back of the first page, which is now the last page of the book. It is really quite logical, and his methods as displayed herein are even more logical. It will bring out the best in you if you actually work it from beginning to end. This is an interactive book, meant to be read with a board and pieces in front of you. In its absence, the illustrations cover it ...

    One of the best books ever written on chess strategy.

    The book is an excellent primer for novice chess players, but is also a great way for experienced players to sharpen their skills. The book sets up numerous chess challenges then asks players to determine the best moves. The following page has the best solution. It is a great skill developer.
