This right-to-the-point book by one of the game's foremost teacher-writer teams uses a breakthrough approach to make the most of your time. Best of all, you select your goal from one of three possible levels. Want to go from absolute beginner to neighbourhood champ? Complete level I in only one afternoon, play some practice games - and you'll quickly be saying ''checkmate''!
