“In our current 21st century, I see that many books these days focus on heavy computer-based opening theory. This material might be applicable for top professional players, but for a regular improving player, this might be too overwhelming. This book however, has a little bit of everything. It trains the improving player to become a universal player, which is very important for them to reach a high level in chess. It teaches the openings in terms of ideas, and gives excellent exercises where you have to figure out the best move, and use the correct thinking process. It teaches how to play the strategy, tactics, and even endgames involvig the opening thats gone over, and I think this will help the student not only understand the opening, but understand the game of chess as a whole better, I highly recommend this book for improvement.”
