وصف الناشر
Readers not only learn the basics of chess and how to play it well, they also learn all about the game-from the world champions and famous games, to all sorts of chess trivia, to famous people who just love playing chess. The major openings, and some tricky ones as well, are presented in a simplified manner, then Schiller shows how to go on the attack, play the middle game, and then finish it. Ten different tactics are shown with many examples, plus the basic fifteen mates every player must know. An easy-to-read format, big print, many sidebars and clear explanations make the Big Book of Chess a pleasure to read!

Instructive but contrived
I have mostly enjoyed this quick and easy tutorial. It will certainly improve any novice's game and marginally improve that of most regular players. It is presented as a series of puzzles that illustrate each of the tactics. The reader will appreciate the direct style of explanation for each example (and the lack of excessive analysis of alternative lines of thought).
However, the examples do seem a bit contrived. For example diagram 88 shows a clever way to exploit an overworked queen but just a bit more analysis would have shown a much stronger alternative move for black. Checkmate in 3 moves.
I don't want to bash Robertie for an oversight... My point is just that I feel that he gives the reader the impression that she should expect to see cases as clear as these in real play which seems a little misleading.
