I am using this book as an aid to help my children learn chess. After teaching them the basic moves and letting them experience beginner play, I am using this book to help them understand the game a little deeper. It has been the perfect tool. Don't buy this if you are just learning the game. You will not understand it. Learn the basics first, practice the basics, then buy this book.

I'm a beginner and I believe Heisman's advice will improve your game. He understands the beginner's chess-mind and makes you aware of how you go wrong.
He writes a column for chesscafe.com. Taken togther, all his columns cover 90% of what's in this book. Since I've read all the columns (and previously purchased his "A Parent's Guide To Chess") I felt as if I got little extra for the price. Nonetheless, I don't mind supporting the guy since I think he is doing chess a great service.

I am an adult beginner player. After reading a few beginner's books I felt I was ready for more serious work. I had no idea there were so many chess books from which to choose. I was lost. I came across some of Heisman's articles on chesscafe.com and was struck by his clear writing. I immediately went out and purchased Everyone's 2nd Chess Book and read it cover to cover.
The book assumes you have basic knowledge of how to play, and that you wish to improve. It provides the basic principles you need to master in your play before you truly improve. I particularly liked that each principle was clearly explained. The ideas for developing a sound thinking process for choosing a move and "board vision" have helped me immensely. Heisman also explains well the transitions from lower level play (Hope Chess) to higher level play (Real chess). After reading this book, any beginner is ready to start playing Real Chess.
My play has already improved and I'm keeping up with players who used to eat me alive. In short, this book will fill in any cracks in your foundational knowledge AND help you to make full use of what you already know. It is accessible to younger readers, too (ages 8 and up), and written in a very caring tone. Heisman wants you to win, but also to have fun. I'll be buying this book for my niece (as soon as she remembers how to move her knights). A worthwhile purchase if you are ready to improve but don't know exactly how to begin.

This is a great book for chess parents and teachers, particularly those who are teaching youngsters. The author discusses several topics that I have not seen anywhere else. These topics are about how people learn chess and the levels of chess knowledge rather than they are about technical aspects of the game.

The concepts presented include chess vision, thoroughly knowing the rules, playing according to principles that suit the situation, and the etiquette of chess play. The author shows how to build chess vision by using "chess mazes", but I would really have liked to see more of these. The other concepts are illustrated with concrete examples from the author's experience as a chess teacher.

I would highly recommend this book to an improving adult or the parent of a young chess player.

Great begginer book. Explains what is missing from many begginers training. Loved the feature on board vision. I now have a plan to improve mine. Unique suggestions for improving, playing in tournaments, and in clubs. Become aware of all the most important rules and what and when to take action when you belive they have been broken. What to expect from tournament play is clearly explained. Also were to find chess resources. The only draw back I saw in this book is it didn't explain specific concepts of play. Instead it focused on explainig what you should spend your chess time doing ex. Learn endings, and work on board vision. It was a little more specific than that but you get my point. This book is good for some one who is just starting to think about taking the next step in chess.

It's the bridge that tells you how to start getting better at chess - going from yucking it up over over leaving your pieces unguarded to beginning to study tactics and really getting good at chess.

I'd also recommend his articles at Chess Cafe titled Novice Nook and doing everything he says. That's what I'll ne doing. See you at the tournaments.
The information kind of jumps around a bit. Not very consistent. Offers some insights, but overall you can get this info for free in most chess web sites. Seems to cater more to the beginning tournament player. I find it more of an advertisement for Dan Heisman, chess coach extraordinare! If this book sold for 9.99, I would give it 3 stars for the information provided, but at this price - even one star is one too many.
