Winning Chess Tactics Customer Review: Something good to learn from but not super great
I have been playing chess at my schools chess club for 4 years. I got this book 2 years ago. It is ok and have learned some thing from it. I also like my juniors chess trap book but a lot more because it shows you things from the first move, how to set up the tactics and go for it! I am about second at my club that goes to 8th grade from kindergarten. But I am working on beathing number 1 this coming year.
Customer Review: Basic, but good
After about 15 years off, I started playing chess again about three months ago. I did so badly — I couldn’t beat my PalmPilot at the easy level! — I realized I needed help. Alhough unrated, I would probably clock in somewhere between 1000-1100 (According to the Chessmaster 9000, anyway. Take that as you will).

I’ve read two of Robertie’s books, this one and “Winning Chess Openings.” Both of them deserve the same review:

Although this is a very basic book, it’s PERFECT for a beginner like me. He starts out with simple concepts and then builds up, and spends his time teaching the basic ideas, whereas other books emphasize material too advanced for a beginning player.
