Customer Reviews

Algebraic Edition of Must-Have Classic
I'm glad to have the algebraic edition of this timeless classic. Since attack is what chess is mainly about, this book is perhaps as essential as such cornerstones as "My System." Surely a must-have for anyone rated 1500+.

TOO MUCH HYPE
From the reviews I have read , I thought this book would improve my play . Note this is my interest -- I want to win games . I could care less if my attacking technique improves if I end up losing the game . I hope anyone reading this agrees with me . This is exactly the fault of this book . It teaches you ONLY attacking techniques that if not properly undertaken may cost you the game . Reading this book actually made my play loose . I had to look for desperate ways to get at opponent's king as my own position had too many holes . Needless to say I was under lot of pressure in my games due to aggressive attacking play . My verdict -- this book could decrease your rating in chess . Please take the reviews you read with a grain of salt . One man's meat is another man's poison .

Amazing advanced book
great for about 1800+ rating players dont buy this as your first book it is too advanced .. this will get your attack working and winning
