Books Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess  by Don Fischer, Bobby, And Margulies, Stuart, And Mosenfelder + CHESS BOARD

"Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess," co-authored by Bobby Fischer, Stuart Margulies, and Don Mosenfelder, is a highly accessible beginner's chess book focused primarily on teaching basic chess tactics, especially checkmating patterns.

Key points about the book:

The book uses a programmed instruction style with a series of exercises or puzzles on each page that build tactical skills step-by-step.

It begins with explanations of piece movement and simple checkmating tactics, progressing gradually to more complex positions.

The focus is almost exclusively on tactics related to attacking the opponent's king, including motifs like pins, forks, and back-rank mates.

It does not cover comprehensive chess strategy, openings, or endgames; rather, it is designed as a teaching tool for absolute beginners to gain confidence and tactical awareness.

The book avoids chess notation to keep it easy to read, and exercises typically take less than a minute each.

It is especially recommended for children or new players learning chess fundamentals for the first time, ideally with adult guidance or coaching.

Some readers find it somewhat limited for anything beyond absolute beginners but praise its clarity in teaching tactical motifs related to mating attacks.
