I read through half the book before deciding to review it. I have had the pleasure of owning and reading through Chernev's other works, such as Logical Chess and Capablanca's 60 best games. Game collections are what you make of them. If you are expecting for chess improvement over night, look elsewhere. If however you want to go over chess games that will bring you delight in the evenings with your choice of hot coco, tea, or coffee then look no further! And ultimately if chess isn't something you enjoy, then why bother with it indeed? These aren't a collection of swashbuckling games, though indeed the game that features the Vienna sure comes to mind as being that variety. No rather these are of a more positional nature, that feature classical openings (plenty of QGD, Ruy Lopez, and Sicilians galore) by many chess giants of a bygone era (Botvinnik, Petrosian, Capablanca, Tarrasach, Tartakower, etc) written in that forgotten tongue of yester-yore known as descriptive notation. Now Chernev's comments are light and human in nature, not those of a computer engine - which makes it accessible and his prose is witty to say the least. To the modern generation, they will simply watch grandmaster's explaining their thought processes for free on youtube. But for those of us stuck to our old ways of reading physical chess books, this is worthy to add to your collection ( only if you have already read the other books in your chess library). ### ⭐⭐⭐ Ancient notation *by R***S on Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2020* There are two versions of this book available. I believe the one pictured uses outdated notation (P-B4) etc. The other version, with a purple and grey cover, uses modern geometrical notation. That one is extremely instructive and enjoyable. I highly recommend it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Entertaining at the least *by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2019* I'm not the best at chess, but i'm past the point where my opponents stop donating their pieces to me. I am only 6 games into this book, and I can already tell this is going to really help me step up my decision making and strategy when approaching different phases of the game. The book is structured to give one main lesson with a ton of mini lessons as well. It literally walks you through how the winner won the game, step by step. It is written in descriptive notation, so it took me a little bit to learn how to read it but got the hang of it pretty quickly. One downside is that you need a board in front of you, or you have to be incredibly good at playing blindfolded chess, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing because if every move was diagrammed, the book itself would be absolutely massive. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/102708778-the-most-instructive-games-of-chess-ever-played-62-masterpieces](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/102708778-the-most-instructive-games-of-chess-ever-played-62-masterpieces) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-08-19*
