Review title: Great book!
Product review: The theory of combinations based on contacts, as well is it's thesis that there are only two attacking procedures leading to success-the combined attack and the double blow- were very useful in my understanding of the middlegame. I think the criticism on the book not having strategy is unfounded. First, strategy without tactics is useless. Planing to occupy an open file or gaining space is useless if you get a knight fork and loose your queen. Strategy exists to create the possibility of tactics. Second, the title of the book is "Essential" not "Comprehensive" and I think what's in the book is more essential than knight outposts and other strategic concepts that become useless if you can't circumvent a tactical blow coming at you.
