No it isn't. If it were, R.N.I.B. would not publish a braille magazine called chess magazine. I'm pretty sure NLS has books on chess too. I had one by Francis Merrick many years ago and learned all the legal moves for chess from it but forget who published it. Now as to strategy, that needs additional reading. The chess magazine regularly had and perhaps still has published games in it. You'll need to learn chess code to understand those games too. Here's something I had read to me long ago in a Barons magazine. Chess requires configurative logic just like investing. So if you want to find an investment advisor, have three games of chess with them. If you can beat them in chess and they have a playing background in chess, you should be advising them on their investments.
