The book by John Watson. I hadn't really looked at it much till recently. But now I see it is the chess book which seems to make more sense than any other. Other famous books, it could be that the author understands the subject, but what he writes starts off interesting, and then deteriorates, until he sounds like he is out of his mind. I mean, he just gives up explaining any more, so you can't check him up. Mr. Watson might be the first who addresses each thing logically and thouroughly and for an intelligent person to understand and appreciate, seeing that he is not left hanging. I thought John Nunn's "Understanding chess move by move" was great, but it is harder to follow than this. But maybe, when Watson says that HIS book is far from exhausting and comprehensive, I wonder if then, Nunn's book can compliment it, giving the reader/student a very comprehensive understanding [considering it's only two books]?
