A Primer of Chess teaches you how to find the good moves. When it is your turn to move, your objective as a chess player should be to find a good move. If every move you play in the game is a good move, you will win, usually because your opponent will throw himself on the sword. Jose Raoul Capablanca is regarded as the greatest chess player who ever lived prior to the modern era. This was intended to be the second book in a series of three books by World Chess Champion Capablanca. The first book was Chess Fundamentals.
