Reviews about this book:

"This is not a book for a true beginner. This book assumes you have a basic working knowledge of the game before reading. Note that chess books are not a book you simply read, but more like a math workbook. The information is presented fast and with the idea that you will have a board in front of you to actually work out the moves for yourself."

"Its a thin book, much thinner than most other chess books Ive ever seen, and its wonderful. You can take it anywhere, and its a PERFECT bedside companion. Its size has one drawback though, it doesnt cover any specific openings. It DOES cover everything else to know about chess theory, and because of the internet there are a LOT of resources for learning about openings in a MUCH deeper way than any book could hope to replicate(chess.com, lichess.org to name two examples). As far as important tactical knowledge goes, this book has everything you need."
