Shout Out to Saraswati
A Modern Moron Book Review
This book will make you a better chess player, but not as good as Bobby Fischer, the world's greatest chess player who won his first world title when he was 14-years-old.
"Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess," was a Little Libraies score many moons ago. Throughout the book are different chess set ups from actual title matches. Bobby askes the question(s), can white / black mate? If so, how many moves? How does black or white mate in three, four moves?
Fischer doesn't reveal exact moves, just the lay out, and whether or not you figure it out, it's completely up to you, I like that.
When I understand Fisher's questions, I feel good about my chess savy, and when it's Chinese algerbra to me, I still have fun playing my own game of chess. In the above picture, it's whites move and if you can't mate in two to three moves, can black? I don't know either, Bobby lays it out for me to play it out.
