Query: A Great Place To Start For A Beginner

Unless one is a child (to which I'd recommend "Chess For Children" by Murray Chandler), this is the best first book for a beginning chess player with an Elo 1200 and under. If a player is rated higher than that, it should be a snap. It's one of the three books I recommend to any new player at our chess club. After 1200, it's still a nice confidence-builder as one moves forward in his or her never-ending pattern-recognition quest. It's a mix between basic tactical motifs and various (and easy) checkmates. Get through this one and move on to "Learn Chess Tactics" by John Nunn. I don't know if I go along with the maxim that "Chess is 99-percent tactics," but it's essential, and this is a great book to start with.
