Chess Master vs. Chess Amateur

Buon libro

Este libro y el de Ajedrez Lógico de Chernev son lo mejor que existe para iniciarse en el mundillo del ajedrez. lo uso para enseñarle a mis alumnos el valor de hacer la jugada correcta y el castigo que te impone el juego correcto ante los errores que cometemos los principiantes.

Great book. I would describe this as a precursor to the book The Road to Chess Mastery. Starts out with simple example games but builds in complexity later.

Very easy to read, starts off with basic concepts and then builds from there, really helps to hone chess thinking, both strategically and tactically. I would recommend this book for players who are beginners, or intermediate, the notation may be tricky at the start, but its ok once you get used to it. Very helpful and I think would really boost the average amateurs' game.
