The book deals with what every amateur would like to know, and has doubts about. It does this through an array of different topics, treated in different chapters, e.g. material imbalances, lost positions, clock, the endgame, etc. These topics are worth pursuing and reading about, because maybe they can shift our view and give us an extra edge in the next tournament game.----- Davide Nastasio, Georgia Chess
