Reader’s Reviews:
An excellent book with brilliantly written, highly instructive chapters, and just enough of Levy’s trademark humour to keep things fun. I can’t recommend it enough to anyone who wants a stronger understanding of chess. B.Rydel
The best thing about this book is that you don’t need a board in front of you. The variations are shown in clear diagrams, which is rare for books aimed at the 1000–1600 range. It makes for faster, easier reading, and you can always train your visualisation separately. BW. Cridel
Levy picks up exactly where he left, dropping the perfect follow-up. This is a book that doesn't require a chess board to learn, the concepts are explained concisely and the examples and extra practice drills are amazing. Can't wait for the master level book. K.P
