[Robert · Rating 5 out of 5]

From the preface to the third edition:
"First of all, knowing that ten years after the first edition there might still be interest in what when I grow old I may call my principal work, feels the same as when a boy confirms the hopes of his parents by graduating from the best university around." (Mihail Marin)
Indeed, this book is still as interesting as it was ten years ago. It is one of a very few masterpieces of the chess publishing in the 21st century.
