--Mark Haast, IM "Schaaksite"
"New In Chess scored a bit of coup getting this book."--Mark Crowther "editor of The Week in Chess"
"This is such a good book. There is certainly enough new material on which to base an entire second volume (..) Well done, New In Chess! Now sign up the author for another book, as soon as possible."--Sean Marsh "CHESS Magazine"
"Two Soviet Classics reimagined as one, and then some...Part Three is called 'From the 20th Century to the 21st', and it has an awful lot of absolute gems contained within. The author starts with a segment about the current status of chess players and trainers. From there he goes on to write essays on chess books, citing works by other authors covering topics such as how to properly calculate variations, the perils of laziness at the board, the Dorfman method, and many others...Reading Part Three can inspire you to dig into the works of other authors based on the recommendations given by Shereshevsky."--Chris Wainscott "Chess Daily News"
