I would like to learn to play chess, can you suggest any good book? Easily understandable?

Bruce Pandolfini and Larry Evans have a number of good books. Check your local libraries, they usually have a number of good books for beginners. To begin, you want to learn to get all of your pieces off their starting squares so that you use all of them. Then learn tactics, the way the pieces work together. Most libraries have books that show positions where there is one best move to be made, and you have to find the move. Learning how to see the board, where all of the pieces are and where they can move to is the most important thing for the beginner. Always ask yourself why did my opponent moved that piece and does it threaten to take any of my pieces? The U. S. Chess Federation has a website that can be useful; also take a look at Chessopolis, a site that has links to at least 100 chess sites in categories such as magazines, book reviews, lessons, etc.

Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess.

Hi John, I suggest learning the basic connections between pieces first (attack, protection, restriction, blocking) in order to play chess well and learn fast. There are four elementary contacts in chess and each chess position can be dissected by using them. They should be mastered first as it is foundation of chess. As in life: it is contacts with your family members, your friends, your business contacts that make you powerful and successful. Take football, or basketball, or hockey, or any space control game and you will see that individual movements of players are inferior to team play, how we work together and how we interact with the opponent team. If we do not SEE connections and relations between players (or pieces in chess) during the game, it is like playing blind not realizing what is going on. It would be funny one team about to touch down, and the other team players are running in the opposite direction without seeing what is coming. If you want to learn more about this, let me know.
