Whether you are a professional game developer working in an established studio or a creative thinker interested in trying your hand at game design, “Video Game Design Revealed” will show you the steps and processes involved in bringing a video game from concept to completion. Beginning with an overview of the history of video games and an examination of the elements of successful games, the book breaks down the video game design process into its simplest elements and builds from there.

You’ll learn how to take an idea and tweak it into a viable game based on the genre, market, game style, and subject matter, moving on to creating and organizing a timeline for the production of the game. Once you’ve mapped out your game production plan and gathered all the information you need, you’ll learn how to choose the development platform and other technologies that best suit the game you’ve designed, add sound and graphics, and apply game mechanics such as whether the game will be single-player or multiplayer and what levels and objects to add to your game to make it challenging and interesting. “Video Game Design Revealed” concludes with guidelines on how to compose a proposal to be used to present your idea to the game industry as well as tips and information on how to find and contact game studios, publishers, and investors to help you make your game design a reality.

Best Lessons of a Chess Coach

Best Lessons of a Chess Coach (Chess)
By Sunil Weeramantry, Edward V. Eusebi


* Publisher: Random House Puzzles & Games
* Number Of Pages: 336
* Publication Date: 1994-02-08
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0812922654
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780812922653
* Binding: Paperback


Product Description:

An innovative book on game-winning strategy for players at the intermediate level--from a master chess coach. Every truth about chess must be coached in context, and the book's interactive teacher-student dialogue does just that. Weeramantry teaches how to think during a chess game. 300 diagrams.

Summary: The best chess book I have read next to Chernev's Logical Chess
Rating: 5

I had always shied away from this book because most of the games contained in the lessons were games played by Mr. Weeramantry. For some reason I was under the impression that an Instructional Chess Anthology should be made up of games of the chess "superstars'. WOW, was I wrong. This book is exceptionally instructional. Mr. Weeramantry's uses of a loose version of the socratic method helps the reader really dive into the games. I have already noticed myself applying some of the lessons, without really trying to!! This means that the lessons are seeping into my brain in a very clear and organic way.


I do think anyone interested in this book should first read a basic primer on chess, a book or two on tactics and then the Irving Chernev classic Logical Chess: Move By Move. After those books and a few games under one's belt you will be ready for Mr. Weeramantry's wonderfully instructional Best Lessons Of A Chess Coach.

p.s. A really good book on beginning tactics is Dan Heisman's, Back To Basics: Tactics. There is plenty of explanation AND plenty of puzzles to work through.

Summary: Excellent Book for Beginners
Rating: 5

This is an absolutely wonderful first or second book on chess (first in case someone already taught you the basics). Much of the winnings moves I ever make still come from this book. It is well-written; the advice is clear and straightforward.
Just go through the first lesson - home away from home - and fall in love with it.
It should be reread every now and then, just to be on top of it. I love it.
