Negative Positive
Title: opening/middle game/puzzle book all in one
Review: this book is great for beginners, but is probably best suited for midlevel players.Instruction is done by selected tournament games, many by former(and current) world champions,while these games are short, each has 4 diagrams, and plenty of analysis by the author. eahc game is categorized by the opening,which by the way,teaches good and bad opening moves, and how to pounce your opponent when he makes a mistake. in this way, this book is like an advanced form of traps and zaps, also by pandolfini.At the end of each game, a diagram is presented, for you to find forced mate, with all solutions at the back of the book. hence this book becomes good for puzzles, as well. But the most valued thing i personally got from this book was sacrificing pieces. i used o be somewhat timid at doing this, but thanks to this book, i now sacrifice to shatter king protection, deflection, ect. sorry for the long review, but this is really a very thorough, handy book.
Is the review positive or negative?
