Reader’s Reviews: "My son asked me to leave a glowing review, so here it is. The book arrived in excellent condition and he's thrilled with it." — B Bolton. "My husband is an avid chess player and loved this book." — C. Tendal. "The reader is shown how to spot opportunities, gradually build up their forces and crash through the defensive lines. The book is certainly well-structured and contains a number of useful test positions." — CHESS Magazine (UK). "Well-chosen examples and clear explanations are present throughout the book (..) Grooten sprinkles anecdotes about the featured examples (..) The most important thing Grooten has going for him as an author is: knowing who he is writing for. Many stronger players have authored books aimed at the club player, but usually they do not understand the capabilities of their audiences." — John Donaldson, International Master.
