Leonard Barden has had significant experience in the world of Chess, he is a Chess master, having had practical experience with Chess at a high professional level, from 1951 to 1964, after which he "gave up" a majority of his competitive chess to focus on other chess related endeavours, such as chess organization and broadcasting. This additional insight gives the book another layer of practical teaching and advice from someone whom has had experience in the world of Chess. Leonard Barden has authored a number of different chess books, examples include, Introduction to Chess published in 1968, in addition to co-authoring a guide to chess openings in 1976. The condition of the book is very good, the front and back cover is in good shape.
