This book teaches through a programmed learning method: It asks you a question. If you give the right answer, it goes on to the next question. If you give the wrong answer, it explains why the answer is wrong and asks you to go back and try again. Thanks to the book’s unique formatting, you will work through the exercises on the right-hand side, with the correct answer hidden on the next page. The left-hand pages are intentionally printed upside-down; after reaching the last page, simply turn the book upside-down and work your way back.
 
When you finish, not only will you be a much better chess player, you may even be able to beat Bobby Fischer at his own game!

review: "This book is perfect if you are in the market for your first chess book. It introduces you to the format used to explain complex strategies in more advanced books. In each chapter, the authors succinctly explain a new method to put our opponent into checkmate. Each explanation is followed by numerous exercises, or puzzles that grow your intuition to spot mates. Don't expect to learn about openings; this book is solely meant to teach you about the art of the checkmate."

- "As a novice of chess, I wanted a book that would help me improve my game and expand my knowledge. That is exactly what this book does.

The programmed learning approach is a refreshing way to learn material, and Bobby Fischer and the supporting authors did an excellent job in execution.

It is simple, useful and enlightening. If you’re looking to improve your game, just learn the basics or see inside the mind of a grandmaster - this is the book for you"
