The book remains structurally sound with a tight and square binding, though it exhibits moderate shelf-wear typical with its age and paperback format. The wraps show noticeable overall toning and some rubbing to the extremities, with a touch of minor creasing at the corners. The spine is uncreased but slightly darkened, while the rear panel displays some scattered grubbiness and light surface scuffing. Internally, the text block is uniformly toned but remains clean and perfectly legible, free from any egregious foxing, tears, or previous ownership inscriptions, presenting a highly readable copy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note: \u003c\/b\u003eThis 1981 printing forms part of the well-regarded Faber Paperbacks series, following the edition's initial introduction to the format in 1970. Originally published in the UK by Faber and Faber in 1954, Reinfeld's instructional work has remained an enduring staple for developing chess players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eThe text is amply illustrated with numerous chess diagrams throughout, which are essential for visualising the complex positional analyses discussed. As a later, practical paperback reprint, it is fairly common on the secondary market and serves primarily as an excellent, usable reference copy rather than a scarce collector's piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003eIn \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"10\"\u003eImproving Your Chess: The Nine Bad Moves and How to Avoid Them\u003c\/i\u003e, prolific chess master and author Fred Reinfeld distils the complexities of the game into clear, actionable advice. By identifying nine fundamental errors, from exposing the king to attack, to neglecting the development of pieces and making thoughtless pawn grabs, Reinfeld provides players with the analytical tools needed to recognise and exploit these blunders. Accompanied by admirably drawn diagrams and drawing on a wealth of examples from actual tournament play, this concise guide is an indispensable resource for any near-novice looking to elevate their game and avoid the pitfalls that lead to a lost position.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54313511256403,"sku":"4534","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260708_111034.jpg?v=1784107967","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/improving-your-chess-the-nine-bad-moves-and-how-to-avoid-them-fred-reinfeld","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
