Book Description
Purdy fills you in on the details, explains the whys, and makes it easier for you to improve—to be a very good player without large amounts of memorization. Even the elementary principles which begin this book have points not seen in other works of this type. His language is a bit unusual, making it easier to remember such things as "biffing the Bishop." He covers all three phases of a game: the opening, the middlegame, and the endgame. Lastly, a complete game is dissected for the purpose of showing how Purdy's Rules are used effectively. The best beginner's book on chess you will ever read.

About the Author
International Master C.J.S. Purdy was born in Australia and was the world's first Correspondence Chess Champion, and author of many chess periodicals from the 1930s to the 1970s. Ex-chess champion Bobby Fischer called Purdy the best teacher on chess.
