### ⭐ So Many Errors - needs an Editor who knows Chess
*by F***Y on September 17, 2023*

I would NOT recommend buying this book. It is chock full of confused nomenclature and diagrams that don't match the text. If you don't know anything about chess, this book will confuse and mislead you. For example, after explaining that the "rows" (ranks) left to right are numbered 1 (bottom) to 8 (top) and the "columns) are identified by letters (A - bottom left, to H - bottom right) it goes on to explain how individual locations on the board are named (eg B-6, H-4, etc). So far so good. But then, in the section using this nomenclature to tell where the pieces go to set up the game the book gets the numbers and letter all wrong. (A kid trying to follow this to set up the board would get it all wrong). Illustrations for "Castling" show all the pawns in place which may be confusing because you can't clear Row 1 of the knight and bishop (left) or knight, bishop, and queen (right) without moving at least one pawn out of the starting place (text is correct here). The description of the "en passant" move is correct, but the illustration shows the black pawn in the wrong location at the end of the move -in F-4 instead of in F-3 where it ought to be. In Chapter 5 (Mid-Game Strategies), the text misidentifies a rook in the illustration as a bishop (p 41). The error is repeated in another description on p. 47. In my opinion the book should be removed from sale until it is revised. A big problem is a mis-match between text and illustrations.
