If you know a young chess player who loves watching Twitch and YouTube chess videos, this would be a perfect gift. There are plenty of diagrams and the books follows a path with chess boards after a move so you don't have to visualise the notation being applied in your head, or spin up chess.His book excited me to learn about the game and the added lessons at the end of each chapter really helped me grasp the concepts. Love this book - I am around 900 and found it great refreshing the basics and then developing further. The book is far clearer than most I've read that tend to go off down several paths and you don't know where one part ends and the next begins.

The book gives a basic overview of the game and some early insight into tactics and a handful of openings which are not too different from other instructional content out there. I've been a fan of Levy's for years - and have been looking forward to it since the moment it was announced.Clever and informative, How to Win at Chess teaches you everything you need to know about the game, including all the important moves and strategies to start off strong and keep you thinking several steps ahead.
