Well,
Fisrt, this book was written by Internationa Master and Italian Master, maybe, you should consider that, they are not grand Master. Neverless thay are great writers with considerable experience of teaching and trainig.
Let me take some foreword from Ljubomir Ljubojevic, I consider this book to be exceptional value... Well if ljubojevic says that. You shoul have it.
Player who loves 1. e4, oppening i have to say this, mostly of the games were chosen from queen's pawn gambit. there are few games with 1.e4.
Even that, this book focus how to stream a plan, read it and you will become acquainted with the method of thinking.
How does the book work?
The book is divided in two chapters.
1.The first chapter How should i think?
There are certain position that the authors give personal approach (45 pages)
2. Second Chapter Practical Section.(130 pages)
They give you a test with different option, the diagram was taken from grandmasters games, each position has three plan, the reader must indicate the plan he would use in a game. Each plan is awarded. Acourding the anwers you archieved points.
Every test, has his nuance, maybe a plan might pusue strategically correct idea but contain tactical drawbacks. So you have to be very aware.
The writers show the best line, and they explaned very well, even better from a grand master, they ussually gives varaitions without any approach.
I compare their explication with the infinite analysis of my computer, and some lines are not the best, but also are a very nice and natural plan and always leads to the victory.
This book is a peace of work, not for beginer player, they will suffer.
I love this book, is like a grandmaster in your house, you will discover deep knowledge, of how to play chess.
I hope this review helps.
