Reader's Reviews:
This book came to my awareness after I watched the series "How To Play Chess" on Amazon's channel of The Great Courses. Jeremy Silman, a humble International Master and an incredible teacher of the game, makes learning chess fun with his vast knowledge of the history of the game and its major players.
More importantly, his wit and personality insights make learning the game more fun because, in many cases, these historical figures were more unbalanced than most of us. Yet, they seemed to be able to thrive on these 64 squares of real estate! He makes learning the game fun, entertaining, informative and instructive; thank you, Mr. Silman! - AGChessFiend
When I started reading this book, I was averaging an ELO of 600. By the time I finished this book, my ELO was hovering in the mid 800's. I have a lot more confidence when I play against higher rated people than before – Turner
