Why has one game, alone among the thousands of games invented and played throughout human history, not only survived but thrived within every culture it has touched? What is it about its 32 figurative pieces, moving about its 64 black and white squares according to very simple rules, that has captivated people for nearly 1,500 years? Why has it driven some of its greatest players into paranoia and madness, and yet is hailed as a remarkably powerful intellectual tool?

He's been called the best in the world at the mental game of tennis. Brad Gilbert's strokes may not be pretty, but looks aren't everything. He has beaten the tour's biggest names - all by playing his "ugly" game. Now, in Winning Ugly, Gilbert teaches recreational players how to win more often without necessarily even changing their strokes. The key to success, he says, is to become a better thinking player - to recognize, analyze, and capitalize. That means out-thinking opponents before, during, and after a match - forcing him or her to play your game.

Psychologists aren't a new phenomenon in golf, but Dr. Michael Lardon is a different breed of performance coach.

You love the game of poker, but you usually leave the game a loser. This is frustrating because you know you have what it takes to make a lot of money playing poker. You have two options: Spend nearly a decade learning from trial and error, or learn the information provided in this book. I have been a profitable player for eight consecutive years, but my approach isn't the norm. I threw everything you're supposed to do out the window and focused on what approaches to the game lead to the highest probability of long-term profits. That's it. That's all I care about: Profits!

Simple, Straightforward, Helpful
It's a quick and basic breakdown of the history, rules, and points of the game. Good for total beginners or someone who is only partly familiar with the game. The end includes a general theory of effective play and a basic strategy to try.

Great History lesson along with simple explanation!
I understood the basic movements of the pieces, Played a handful of times since I was young. A recent invitation by my brother-in-law AND my mother to play chess has sparked an interest. Listening to this short book, I feel educated and and much more ready to take on a new journey of learning the game of Chess! Would recommend to any beginner, even if they already understand somewhat how the game works.

Great for rules and logistics
As far as strategies there's really only 1 basic opening strategy discussed...which is fine for a beginner book. This book does a great job discussing the rules for each piece and the logistics of board setup.
