Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess
A**P
Worthy Book
The book was received in good quality and pages are above average.Some complained in reviews that the pages are inverted BUT that's the way book has been purposefully made by Bobby Fisher and he calls it PROGRAM. So don't worry... You have to read till page 178 only on the right page and read the rest of the book inverted.Overall a good book for beginners.

Good for beginners
This is not written by Bobby Fischer. He lent his name to it.Good for beginners to learn and practice various mating combinations.

The inverted pages are not printing mistake
Before you buy this book, you need to know three things:1. This book does not have anything to do with the famous chess grandmaster Bobby Fischer. He did not write it. The publishers merely paid him to put his name and image on the book. But the book is still great, unique, and is of immense help to beginners.2. The book does not teach you how to think like a grandmaster, but it does teach you how to not think like a rookie. The entire book is focused on basic mistakes. Therefore, naturally, there will come a point in your chess career when you will no more use any of the techniques in this book. At that point, you might think, "that book was a waste of money", but in reality, it has already done its job.3. You still need a basic chess book to go with it. This is primarily a puzzle/problems book that you practice on the side.Beginners often do not consider the positions of all the chess pieces when they make a move. They focus only on the piece that directly attacks any of their pieces. As a result, they tend to overlook obvious traps and mates. That is what this book teaches. It is essential, and does a great job of doing what it does.

Good book but bad print
Book is one of the best for beginner. I bought it for my kid as ebook was not good for her. I had read it so had no doubt about content but the book received had printing issue, all even pages were upside down. Requested replacement and 2nd copy had the same issue as well.Lower rating is for printing quality only.

Unexpected book printing/binding
The printing or binding of the book is mixed up half of the book is upside down it's more of a practical knowledge book so it will work for me. When I started reading it I understood that all the pages are in sequence and when you get in end of the book you can rotate the book and then it is in sequence again no headache.
