"I wish I'd had a book like this when I was a promising young player… I enjoyed this book greatly. There are inevitably a few places where you raise your eyebrows and think 'Nigel, did this really need to be included…?' However, the opportunity to hear the thoughts of a great player on how to win across 8 tournaments is something quite unique and worthy of 5 stars!" -- GM Matthew Sadler, New in Chess
