If you are looking for a good book on "How to Checkmate" get "How to Beat Your Dad at Chess" or even Polgar's massive Puzzels Book. Fischer's book has very little material in it is is dated because of much better books of the same nature. Looking for a good instructional book: if a kid, adult or teacher get "Chess For Juniors". If a classroom teacher consider getting "Teaching Chess in the 21st Century" in addition to "Chess for Juniors".
