Reviews
One very positive aspect of the book is that the games will be very fresh to most readers. This is a book showing the gritty side of chess battles at a level just below the absolute top. - Sean Marsh - Chess 04.2019. The games are enjoyable, instructively and reasonably lightly annotated. And to be honest, you do not want to miss some of those variations: there are some amazing attacks. Perhaps the most astonishing chess content, however, is in the endgame section, which features analysis of pawn endgames and rook endgames...but I don't think I've seen better analysis of practical endgames. Krasenkow does a really great job of making the games fun and readable. In conclusion an excellent book and a 5-star commendation - GM Matthew Sadler - NIC Magazine 02/2019.
The compelling star feature of the book is the high quality of the annotations themselves. Krasenkow provides clear explanations of many of the moves, and supplements this with concrete (sometimes quite deep!) lines when the position requires it. In my opinion he gets the balance just right, and it is easy to see why Krasenkow is a top coach as well as a strong player. Players of widely differing strengths will be able to enjoy and benefit from the author's annotations. In summary: I highly recommend this book. It can be read for enjoyment by those who simply like going through well-annotated chess games, and there is little doubt that more serious study will benefit those looking to improve.
