Review: Super helpful - Wonderfully useful book with a very enjoyable and methodical approach to positions. It's apparently an old book, but it sta zs the test of ti.e.
Review: Immeasurably helpful - Incredibly effective book in my practice, maybe the most useful book yet. Exercises are short and practical. Not exciting but I'd have a concept down in about 1-2 days and the improvement was palpable, would give 6 stars if I could!
