Hello, I just started playing chess and was wondering if there are any books that people could suggest that illustrate strategy and general chess techniques to the rank novice. To give you an idea of how much of a novice I am - I have stale-mated the Sun2 ``chesstool'' program once and lost about 10-15 times. The book should be clear and without too much notation (I don't know chess notation yet). A paperback edition would be helpful also. Thanks -- praveen This ain't my goddamn planet, monkey-boy! phaedrus@eneevax.arpa or {seismo,allegra}!umcp-cs!eneevax!phaedrus
