How to Be a Complete Tournament Player - Expert Chess Strategies & Tips | Cadogan Chess Books | Perfect for Competitive Play & Chess Club Training

Grandmaster Mednis died in 2002, not quite 65--far too young. After finishing second in the 1955 World Junior Championship behind Boris Spassky, in 1962 he was the first player to beat Bobby Fischer in a U.S. Championship. Despite these notable early achievements as a player, Mednis made his mark primarily as a chess author. I have this book, it is carefully written and of outstanding quality like most of Mednis's work, it will help you win more games, and you will enjoy reading it. I can unreservedly recommend this book and any other book by this model chess author. I only wish he had lived to write many more. Let me add that this book, a slim paperback, is well-printed and attractively designed.
