"a first rate instructional work ... Nunn does a very good job of explaining the key points of the game in such a way that the reader is given a true account of what is happening and not some watered down version. Nunn does a good job of translating the muddy world of modern master chess into something that is understandable to the layman" - John Donaldson, Inside Chess "First and foremost a teaching book ... I am so taken by the clarity, simplicity and pure instructiveness of this book that my first instinct would be to give it to every student I know" - John Watson, The Week in Chess "In conclusion, John Nunn has written a wonderful book about 30 wonderful games. The analysis is first rate, the commentary cogent, and the production excellent. What is there not to like? In the end, I couldn't find anything to fault, and that is why it earns the highest rating (10/10). Buy this book; you will not be sorry" - Randy Bauer, Randy's Reviews
