Default 'Chess for Dummies' by Eade?

Chapter 19: The Ten Best Chess Players of All Time has this gaff of
Kasparov, Gary (1963 -), Armenia

That is one of many mistakes found in Eade's book - a book, by the way, of
which his buddy, former USCF treasurer Tom Dorsch said:
"Jim Eade has written the best single-volume introduction to chess in the
English language."
That view is definitely not shared by a majority of the chess players and

chess
writers I know.

Hi George, we shouldn't slay Jim for a publisher's (?) typo.

However, as chess training material goes, interactive tutorial software seem
to be now taking over from books alone. The cost is usually the same as for
books, but the interactive element provides the student feedback why
such-and-such a move is not good in any position, &c. Have you ever tried
software as training material?

Digitally, Phil Innes
