What is the best chess book for beginners?

I'm a beginner, so I need to learn more about chess. What's the best book for me?

I loved "The Complete Idiot's Guide To Chess".....Very enjoyable and rather entertaining.

Good Chess Books for Beginners and Beyond...

This Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess is about the worst book I can imagine. I've seen it and I actually had it at one point. It's just a ton of simple and not very interesting puzzles. Beginners need to learn about the basics of chess: piece development, central control, the elements of tactics (pins, discoveries, skewers, forks...) and vague stuff like space, initiative and so on. Any book that does not have these elements is fairly worthless to a beginner. They'd be better off just looking at GM game collections (from Morphy to Fischer) to see these basic principles in action.

I enjoyed this book as well. When I finished it, I realized I had indeed become The Complete Idiot of Chess. 😂

I see that you’ve played only 100 games or so since joining CC. (One year ago) I’m not qualified to give chess advice at my level. However, I think you can learn by playing as well. Play more games! Win or lose, just keep playing, and never lose the joy this game brings. Enjoy the Journey!
