In Logical Chess: Move by Move, Irving Chernev shows 33 games in detail, explaining the moves of the masters and showing readers where to place the chess pieces for the best results. Chess instruction begins with a review (or an introduction, for new players) of the basics but presented in the context of when these rules and tactics were first published or widely adopted, and advances to analyze games from the leading players of the late 1800s whose play set the standard for today’s grandmasters. Written for students with a middle school reading level and above, this text blends chess instruction with history providing portraits of many of the players and a contextual overview of the world when chess was developing to the game we know today. Of course our first recommendation is Great Moves: Learning Chess Through History, by Sunil Weeramantry, Alan Abrams and Robert McLellan. For Teachers and Older “Advanced Beginner” Students ![]()
