Ken Whyld Books

So much has happened in the ever-changing world of chess since 1984, that this new edition of the essential companion to all branches of the game is now 10% longer than the acclaimed first edition. Much of the original text has been rewritten to incorporate the latest research and developments. There are over 160 new biographies (most of them of today's players), hundreds more names of openings, many more technical terms, and more game scores and compositions than ever before. Ranging from the earliest myths to the present, the Companion offers full coverage of all aspects of over-the-board play and correspondence chess, and other forms of telechess. Fully cross-referenced throughout, the 2,600 entries take the reader from laws and strategies to details of the representation of chess in philately, literature, art, theatre, and film.

Part of the Learn in a Weekend series that examines various activities, this book shows the reader how to learn to play chess. Concentrated and highly structured for the absolute beginner, the book can be completed within a 48-hour period. Each of the books outlines the techniques so that at the end of the weekend the beginner can have mastered the basics. Ken Whyld is a regional champion chess player and in this book he teaches readers 15 skills including basic board orientation, understanding various chess pieces and tactics and strategy in chess.
