Following the most lengthy description of the game and its rules that I’ve ever read, the book skips straight to checkmate and keeps that laser-focused the rest of the way. So it’s not really teaching chess, but checkmate. Not openings, not end game tactics... Just checkmate. But once you get past the misleading title, the book does a decent job of teaching many methods of checkmate — usually on the back rank, but also sometimes on the side.
