Title: Great book despite flaws
Review: I use Fritz 8 to study my books, so I can go through the variations and see the state of the game with ease. With that in mind, there are some flaws in this book, three most notable:1) Moves made by the amateur described as "the decisive error" are sometimes the ones that the million-move-monster recommends2) The master in question sometimes makes less than perfect moves, and a few crushing tactical opportunities were missed3) There are at least 3 errors in analysis per game. For example, in Game 19, 13. ...Re8 is billed as "the only move," when it leads to forced mate in 5. 13. ...Nf6! 14. exf6 Bf5! holds the game for Black; White is still better but immediate mate is out of sight.However, these errors do not detract from the instructive quality of the book at all. It still does its job very well: Explaining why many common amateur moves are inferior (and showing how to exploit them), and teaching a great deal about strategy. I learned much from reading it. So will you.
