Secrets of Practical Chess (New Enlarged Edition)
John Nunn
Gambit Publications, 2007
Intelligent writing delivers the goods
The highlighted comments of Dr J Sarfati are well written - he is an excellent Amazon reviewer. I agree that John Nunn's book is a goldmine of useful tips, and includes many a remedy for bad habits. The great thing about Nunn's writing is that he does not have an ...

Understanding Chess Move by Move
John Nunn
Gambit Publications, 2001
Chess
My word; I took up this magnificent game only a very short while ago, and now, three months later, I'm hooked. To learn, I saw at once the need for expert guidance, and I can confirm that there is plenty of guidance to be had, and most of it turned upon pure vanity. I ...

Graham Burgess, John Nunn, ...
Running Press, 2004
I love the first edition
This review pertains specifically to the first edition. I do not have the second edition and probably will not buy it because I will probably never finish learning everything that I can from the first! I really like the book and have learned much so far. The selection ...

An experienced scholastic chess coach enthusiastically recommended this book to me (there are so many beginner books out there that for a novice the choice is confusing). My friend explained that this book is easily the best guide for an adult looking to learn - well ...

Secrets of Pawn Endings
Karsten Muller, Frank Lamprecht
Gambit Publications, 2008
Secrets of Good Books
Ok, endgame books are mostly raw facts and calculation. Accuracy is more important than writing ability. If you purchased this book, there is no doubt what you expected to take from it.
When I found the first typo on the first page of chapter one I thought I ...

Nunn's Chess Openings (Everyman Chess Series)
John Nunn, Joe Gallagher, ...
Everyman Chess, 1999
Good reference on the openings
There are basically two popular 1 volume opening reference books, "Nunn's Chess Openings" and "Modern Chess Openings". I have heard many opinions as to which is better. I personally think that each has their individual strong points as to accuracy (I like Nunn better) ...

Enjoying the book!
Bought this book from amazon.de recently, and I am enjoying it very much. Chapters like the one on Fortresses, Domination, Prophylaxis are interesting.

Learn Chess Tactics
John Nunn
Gambit Publications, 2004
Never studied tactics? pick this one first
I have quite a few books on tactics and if I had to start all over again I would start by this book. Not that this book presents a huge collection of problems, which it does not, but because it explains the concepts behind tactic motifs very well.
Each chapter starts ...

Secrets of Rook Endings
John Nunn
Gambit Publications, 1999
Another authoritative book by Nunn
I reccommend this book to any serious chessplayer. Nunn gives the low down on all rook versus rook plus pawn endings. Firstly, the information in this book is 100% accurate since a computer created the database. Any serious chessplayer would normally be looking for ...

So Many Peter Pans, So Little Time!
In 1904 J.M. Barrie wrote & directed his new play "Peter Pan." In 1911 he wrote & printed the same story as a novel sometimes known as "Peter Pan" sometimes known as "Peter & Wendy." Since that time there has been much confusion between the 2 editions of "Peter Pan." ...
