04/24/2009: This book is an oustanding primer for the novice or nearly novice chess player. It teaches the basic moves and then takes the student through basic combination moves and tactics and techniques for mate. If you have a killer instinct in you at all, as far as chess is concerned, this book will bring it out in you. I have not seen another chess book that causes such a rapid improvement in an inexperienced players game. A great teaching tool.

12/03/2008: In reality "Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess" was not written by him - he allowed his name to be used. "Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess" is NOT a book that teaches you how to play from the start (you would be best in getting an introductory chess book such as "Chess for Everyone" or "Learn Chess"). It is a book that will teach you simple one move checkmate patterns, without the actual use of notation (actually, not a good thing for a newcomer who needs to learn how to read and write chess to grow). However, once again, there are better books on basic checkmates that cover far more material and provide instruction in the area of checkmate and tactical patterns (such as "Art of the Checkmate" and "Winning Chess Tournaments"). Certainly do not judge a book by its cover and especially by its title in this case!
I Also Recommend: The Art of Checkmate, Winning Chess Tournaments, Chess For Everyone, Learn Chess: A Complete Course.
