   Now that I don’t need to invest much energy in the opening phase, I can concentrate on improving my middle and endgame play.

   I appreciate the effort gone into it. It’s helped me become better at my openings and I’m looking forward to what he has next in store. Cheers.

   In two recent wins, my opponents failed to follow the golden rules, making it easy for me to win the games.

   I’ve only reviewed all the black lines but I am liking the author’s approach of adding exercises after each chapter to make sure you are looking at the positions themselves rather than just routinely memorizing the lines without absorbing the content of his commentary.

    he gives you basic principles that just works 90% of the situations – it sounded silly to me at first, but then it became a daily prayer

    For taking all the fun out of my chess games. I never thought anybody would be cruel enough to make winning so easy that chess has become boring.

    I would never recommend this book to anybody that I would consider a beginner, and maybe not even a “casual” player (depending on the definition).
