The "Logical Chess, Move by Move" book, initially released on June 15, 1971, has received mixed feedback from customers. Some customers appreciate the book's content, especially its in-depth explanations and move-by-move learning. They acknowledge its usefulness, particularly in understanding the reasoning behind each move and the accompanying diagrams to illustrate positions on the board. However, there are some criticisms, with specific focus on the notation used in the book. Some customers express frustration with the non-algebraic notation, deeming it difficult to interpret and leading to the return of the book for the updated algebraic notation version. Additionally, there are complaints about the quality of the printing, with misaligned pages being a noticeable issue. One customer highlights the book's erudition and enthusiasm of the author, noting its helpfulness, especially in learning about specific openings. However, the customer also expresses disappointment regarding the printing quality, which impacted the overall experience of using the book.

They suggest using the book's advice against peers rather than relying solely on it for guidance. In summary, "Logical Chess, Move by Move" has received praise for its educational content, yet it faces criticism for its notations and printing quality. The book seems to be recommended for those at a certain level in chess, but higher-level players may find it oversimplified.
