The others you and others mentioned, I havn't got around to seeing very much if at all, although I do agree that there are very good things around. But I am imagining that nothing till now was quite like the abovementioned (understanding chess) in general. At any rate, I feel somewhat inspired to work through it and to let that be my final attempt to REALLY "understand" chess, and make a further big improvement, which I feel that book can't fail to do. As soon as I can look at a chess position for 5 minutes whilst thinking quickly non-stop about the position, then it will be known whether or not I'm able to be on GM level. i.e. as soon as I'm able to do what I want to do whilst sitting at a position, then It will be a simple yes or no matter what I could achieve. And if the answer is "no", I would also be satisfied. But I don't think the answer WILL be No. But that doesn't mean I'll have time to pursue it anyway. I think I have confidence that that book will get me to that stage. S.Taylor
