[Dan Warren · Rating 5 out of 5]

I liked that a number of puzzles started with "quiet moves" (not checks or captures), and that there were some puzzles in which the winning side had a significant material advantage and yet had to find the FASTEST mate. These two factors made for a more difficult and ultimately better book.

Mates in 2, 3 and 4. Standard stuff, enjoyable, useful.
