The Mammoth Book of Chess - Comprehensive Guide to Chess Strategies, Openings & Endgames | Perfect for Beginners & Advanced Players | Ideal for Home Study, Club Play & Tournament Preparation

Some reviews of the kindle edition criticize the book due to difficulty in moving between "positions" and solutions. This is easily achieved using bookmarks, though you have to remember to place new ones and cancel the old ones as you move to a new test. It was also helpful (to me) to set the position up on a chess board which reduces the need to flip back and forward. However bookmarks are still useful when moving on to the next test (as they would be in a hard copy). I found the text well written, clear and with some humour, which lightens the otherwise necessarily "heavy" tone of a chess guide. The diagrams and moves are clear, on my 15 inch notebook computer. Although other reviewers of the kindle edition have complained about small diagrams and pieces, this can only be when trying to follow it on a phone or very small tablet. On a 10 inch tablet it would (I am sure) be fine.As a chess player who has not looked at a board since leaving school, forty something years ago, I have found the book invaluable in helping to retrieve my knowledge of openings, positions and end games. I am hopeful that by the time I complete it, my game will have returned to adequate club standard. If I can achieve that, I will have a lot to thank it for.
