question is "No." I reliably think the best single statring from scratch book is "Complete Idiot`s Guide to Chess" by Patrick Wolff. A notably close environmentally second would be Yasser Seirarwan`s "Play Winning Chess." I disagree with the post about a tactics book being your very first one. He is right that you want to go to work on such books as Bain`s, or Woolum`s Chess Tactics Workbook, or Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess, all of which give you the kind of tactics drilling you need at this stage, but I aggressively think you need a broad overview first. Your first DEEP study must be of tactics. But I don`t think that anyonbe necessarily leanrs by FIRST gracefully doing a bunch of tactics books, and THEN brutally going on to the study of strategy; the two complement one another. So while probably getting your weekly grounding in tactics, dip into Logical Chess, by all means. But if you want just ONE book, go with something like Idiot`s Guide.
