Chess openings: The Most Complete Manual To Learn The Best Chess Strategies And Opening Principles For Beginners And Advanced Players

The cover gives it as the 'COMPLITE' ,,,,,, amusing english inside V poor for the price

I totally agree with many of the 1-star reviews and I am adding mine only to get the numbers up just in case we can save people from buying it! I am not sure if the print version is better but the Kindle one is horrid! Sentences that make no sense and chess notation that was probably written by a drunk. Either this is a bad joke or there was absolutely no editor. The content is also useless. You need to see the Catalan opening description; 2 lines about the opening, 1 picture and then the text starts talking about the Spanish civil war. On the Scandinavian, there is more info about the Vikings than the actual opening. I seriously can't believe this book exists...

The scope and contents of this book were exactly what I was looking for ... BUT the Kindle version is useless. It appears to have been scanned and OCR-ed without any editing or even basic spell correction. Very few sentences actually make sense and the chess notation references are wrong or indecipherable. Utterly useless!! And as far as I can make any sense of it through the totally mangled text, the analysis and presentation is shallow - as another reviewer has noted - and does not flow logically at all. Perhaps the print version is readable, but the Kindle is NOT!

This book is absolute garbage, badly put together grammar is none existent.Anyone who wants to know or learn chess do not purchase this book.You have been warned.D Dowson

Poor grammar and spelling.
