Awesome book for beginners。 10 tips for the opening， middlegame， and endgame using Morphy's games as examples。 He won most of his matches playing blindfolded at odds against total cans。 What an absolute unit。 Giving it 5 stars even though there are occasional errors in notation。 Awesome book for beginners。 10 tips for the opening， middlegame， and endgame using Morphy's games as examples。 He won most of his matches playing blindfolded at odds against total cans。 What an absolute unit。 Giving it 5 stars even though there are occasional errors in notation。 。。。more

This is not a book about Morphy; it is a Primer。 It's proper to pronounce "primer" as primmer。Del Rosario is a rare fowl; a sub-master chess author。 His current effort examines Reuben Fine's 30 chess axioms through the lens of （mostly） Paul Morphy games。 It's an interesting and not altogether failing concept。 Unfortunately， Fine's best years were in the 1930's and he never quite seemed to catch the hyper-modern fever; he loved occupied centers and dry provincial development。 It's still a reasona This is not a book about Morphy; it is a Primer。 It's proper to pronounce "primer" as primmer。Del Rosario is a rare fowl; a sub-master chess author。 His current effort examines Reuben Fine's 30 chess axioms through the lens of （mostly） Paul Morphy games。 It's an interesting and not altogether failing concept。 Unfortunately， Fine's best years were in the 1930's and he never quite seemed to catch the hyper-modern fever; he loved occupied centers and dry provincial development。 It's still a reasonable foundational work even though it lacks the dynamism we've come to expect from players of his era。 It makes sense that Morphy’s unsophisticated （yet occasionally brilliant） games would showcase Fine's maxims。 。。。more
