Title: Terrible book
Review: Avoid this one....It's a very basic book aimed at low level players, showing a range of the e4-e5 openings. In each example, it follows the standard opening, then one side makes an error (Usually suicidal in nature.) allowing the opposition to mate or at least obtain an overwhelming advantage in the next 1-2 moves. Pandolfini gives the instruction on how to do this.As mentioned by everyone else the book is packed with errors, i.e. diagram 1, the black knight f6 is missing, diagram 149 white has 3 rooks etc... the list goes on and on.You will spend you time wondering why a) someone would make that error and b) why you wasted money on the book.i gave it 2 stars, because its cheap, the advice is reasonable and it does show various patterns, within the openings. It's a nice idea for a book, its just this one is terribly done. dont waste your money
