Książka wydana w języku angielskim. Miękka okładka.
Ilya Maizeliss masterpiece is the definitive introduction to the game of chess. It has inspired generations of Russians to take up the game, including arguably the two greatest players of all time, the 12th and 13th World Champions.

A remarkable book, from which I learnt to play chess – Garry Kasparov
A wonderful book which I studied myself – Anatoly Karpov

Reviews

"Most Quality Chess titles are original works, but from time to time the company puts out translations of older classics not available in English. This book, which was first published in the mid-1930s, has been continuously in print since then, appearing in several updated editions.

The title might suggest it is for beginners, but that is not the case. It does start off with some basic positions, but quickly moves on to much more advanced material including chapters on positional play and techniques of calculation."
