Excellent! One of the best tournament books I've ever read. Marfia's stories are enjoyable, and while there aren't many game notes (those are done mostly by Watson), Marfia gives a few lines on each game that capture the essence. I've only played over one game (Hurdle*-Shipman), but playing over games isn't necessarily a requirement for 'reading' a chess book. I'll play them over later, and count that as another 'read.'
