Perhaps I was didn't express my goal as I should have. While my ultimate goal is to teach my chess engine to play good chess, I cannot achieve this without understanding myself as a human player the modern chess play. Therefor the need for books to study. I have looked for references on the book you mentioned, I have found a review of GM John Watson which ends with : "I have no doubt that Dorfman is a good teacher/trainer, but people with a particular skill do not always write good books. Unless you're looking for “The Lightly Annotated Games of Dorfman With His Mostly Inapplicable Pedagogical Observations”, you should stay away from this book. Perhaps his recently released follow-up will be better, but for that to be true he would have to have brought himself down to earth, and to have widened his base of examples." (full review here : http://www.jeremysilman.com/book_reviews/jw_method_in_chess.html) Maybe if it doesn't work for Mr. Watson it would work for me but I wouldn't bet for it. Andrei
