    Great review! My coach is friends with the author so I’ll ask him to forward this review. I’m sure it will be appreciated!
    Also, can you record a fake review where you hate on this book that I can send to my opponents? 😅

  • @danielholta5721

    I'm only passed 25 pages and im already loving how this book is structured. It isn't sectioned into pages focusing on minor pieces, rooks and passed pawns like Silman or Grootens book. The exercises build on different stages of the same game so the themes are very representative of a real chess game! That these exercises come about every other page or so makes the learning process way more immersive. The author wants the player to put the pieces on a chess board however this book is rather easy to read so i haven't found that necessary. I do however write down the different lines i come up with. Atleast 3 different lines for each excersise. So far books 5/5!
    FYI I'm 1600 rated over the board classical.

    • @RigMaster_

      I agree, the book is marketed for clubs players but it would be cool to get an approximate rating range and maybe a comparison to other books out there (if any).

    When you showed the second example, I immediately remembered the game frome a lecture (I thnik) on Ginger GM's site by Ivan Sokolov on how to play against the Tartakower QGD. I don't know if I'd found the solution if I hadn't remembered that. ;) Then again, Karpov, along with Capablanca is my favourite player, so I had to laugh somewhat when you mentioned them as difficult to understand or learn from.

    What do you think of the book "Practical Chess Exercises: 600 Lessons from Tactics to Strategy"? I really love the concept of the book, but I can't help but be suspicious because the author is an untitled unknown. It has great reviews and a foreword from GM, but that doesn't guarantee that the explanations are good.

    @robinesperoza ปีที่แล้ว

    The pronounciation wasn't horribly butchered. The last 'e' in the name, in this instance is a short è, instead of "see" . :)

    • @robinesperoza
      @robinesperoza ปีที่แล้ว

      Actually I thought about this, my previous comment isn't right. There are at least different ways the letter "e" is pronounced in a word in Dutch.
      A short è sound, like "pet" (=cap)
      The long é sound like "zee" (=sea)
      A kinda "uh" sound, like "ze" (=she)
      In this case the "e" at the end should be pronounced something like "uh"
      The long sound is usually written like "ee" but to keep it simple this is not true when the letter is at the end of a syllable, then it should be long.
      The best word that combines this mess is "deze" (=these") This is pronounced something like dea-suh.
      Languages don't make any sense. Sorry, this comment is just my interest in languages, not because I think every perosn should speak all the languages in the world.
