Summary: Not The Best But Good Enough
Comment: At times the author wrote as if he was writing a novel instead of a chess book, but it is still a good book. There are some problems with it though. I can't stand Descriptive Notation (1.P-K4 P-K4, 2.N-KB3 N-QB3, etc.). He also assumes way too much out of the reader. Such as, after showing an even position he states a line of moves and ends with,"And White is clearly better and wins". What truly makes it irritating is when I put the position on Fritz and let the computer play it out it draws everytime. So where is the clear win? The way Znosko breaks down chess into the three elements (Time, Space, & Force) is awesome. I wish Jeremy Silman would have done it this way in his book Reassess Your Chess. But if both books are purchased and studied I believe the reader will come out ahead. Overall, a good book, not the best, but good. Definitely worth the cover price at least.

Summary: Great Book!!!
Comment: This books shows that great chess learning need not cost a fortune. Very similar to the teaching approach of Reuben Fine's Ideas Behind the Chess Opening. With few examples, but very thorough in practical and effective positional ideas of middle game play. This may not be the most interesting book for future Tals or the Fischers (attacking players) of chess but great for the Petrosians and the Karpovs (positional players).
Rating: 5
Summary: Wide scope
Comment: A nice book with a wide scope. Definetly a book not suited to the beginner.
