Question

I would like to learn to play chess, can you suggest any good book? Easily understandable?

Answer 1

Bruce Pandolfini and Larry Evans have a number of good books. Check your local libraries, they usually have a number of good books for beginners. To begin, you want to learn to get all of your pieces off their starting squares so that you use all of them. Then learn tactics, the way the pieces work together. Most libraries have books that show positions where there is one best move to be made, and you have to find the move. Learning how to see the board, where all of the pieces are and where they can move to is the most important thing for the beginner. Always ask yourself why did my opponent moved that piece and does it threaten to take any of my pieces? The U. S. Chess Federation has a website that can be useful; also take a look at Chessopolis, a site that has links to at least 100 chess sites in categories such as magazines, book reviews, lessons, etc.
