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."IM John Donaldson, Chess Today
