Title: Too artificial to be helpful
Product review: I just can't recommend this book -- I have not found it useful for myself and certainly would not use it to get problems for my students. The problem I see is that all of the positions are contrived and unnatural -- they aren't positions that would occur naturally -- so it doesn't improve your pattern-recognition ability. I don't believe that what you learn here translates to real games.I don't know what to do with my copy of the book. I can't use it, but I don't want to resell it or give it away since I believe it's so unhelpful.
