[Jared · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great kick in the pants for this casual "Hope Chess" player to drop the shenanigans and play "Real Chess". I haven't read many chess books, but thought the de Groot exercises and documented protocols across the ratings spectrum were very insightful.

(Just realized there's an updated and expanded version...)
