25 chess games played between master and amateur chosen, arranged, and annotated to help amateurs learn how to avoid a variety of weak strategic and tactical moves.

I have this book for long time ago. It is a collection of very good commented games where you can see how the master take adventage of the amateur play. It is very well written and you will learn lot of thinks from this book. It is aim more for the club player than for the advanced player. Anyway everybody will love this book, as I do.

An excellent book. I wish someone somehow would be able to convert this gem to algebraic notation.
