Simply an amazing book with complex positions and thought notes

crank out your chess computer and find all the holes in what Soltis presents with Master play!

a deeply satisfying book, and the cloth hardcover is beautiful to hold, but the algebraic version is much easier on the brain

Great games and puzzles

I have not read it yet but I think it is highly instructive for players that cannot defend
