I think you can forgo this book. It has good reviews on amazon (4.5 stars) and from user reviews I think I want it ! J.

I wanted to read it to extract some chess rules but the second part is more about exceptions to the classical rules and I really am confused because of this. I think I'll have to master the classical structures/rules before I can attempt to go successfully through this book. Cheers, Andrei
