The book stands on its own; it is also part of Lev Alburt's Comprehensive Chess Course series, which uses timetested methods to improve the chess knowledge and practical results of all chess players, from beginner to master.
"The Comprehensive Chess Course is simply the best chess instruction I have ever seen. I am a player who has been reading chess books for 40 years without getting any better. Lev Alburt taught me basic things about the game that none of the other books ever taught me. He is a brilliant teacher, and his books capture that brilliance." - Charles Murray, author of Human Accomplishment
