Hi Andrei, i would hardly recommend this book for a human player, but it seems to me that you're interested in extracting chess knowledge somewhat easy to implement. So it might be helpful to glimpse at "The Method in Chess" by Iossif Dorfman (really don't know if it is method or madness ;-) And of course i would not ignore books that are basically written for children. I am _not kidding_ ... because you'll often read good rules of thumb without any if and however ;-) Regards, Jens >As a secondary objective I am interesting in >improving my playing strength.
