Story4.5 out of 5 stars 147
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?

No pdf
The content wasn't bad, but especially the audio version is severely lacking a pdf with the diagrams, some of which are even referenced throughout the recording.
Teaches the basic rules of chess, but half of them are impossible to follow.
The second half is applying the principles from chess to real life, which might be handy.

Useless as an audiobook
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
It makes no sense to have an audiobook without the diagrams that are critical to understanding any of it. This purchase was a blunder!

Excellent audio chess book!
Most chess books simply don't lend themselves to the audio format. Without an eidetic memory, there is very little benefit to hearing a string of algebraic chess moves. This book is different. The author and reader provide lots of good usable information that works in an audible format. There are discussions on strategy, tactics, and discussions on ways to work through problems, Yes, there are some algebraic discussions that would be much more helpful if the book had a PDF to download, but all in all it was worthwhile and enjoyable.

Requires much notation. Maybe 25%. So not so great for newbies. What a shame really.
