excuse me- it's mine 

kasparov said he got it to learn chess so i figured why not get it hahah, i know i wont ever get to that point but that's ok.  Also if its too advanced for me now doesn't mean it wont be 2 years from now.

Soviet Chess Primer is a great chess book, endorsed by Karpov, Kasparov et. al., and begins friendly enough, but quickly becomes very challenging for less experienced players.  See my commentary on the book here (search Soviet)...
