Comments : Amazing from start to finish. It would be amazing if it had an update that included game numbers per opening, but study of all of the games is entirely unparalelled.

Comments : Without a doubt, one of the best chessbooks ever written! I've been around for a VERY long time, and I've seen some good books, and some not-so-good books. This is one of the BEST. Bronstein's passion for the game comes through in just about every page; only a little bit of the analysis has been "refuted" over the years, and at any price, this book is a bargain. My only "issue" is the font they used (which may have been one of the only ones available at the time he book was printed). I have it and wore it out...

Comments : This is the book for who want upgrade rating. In this fine book Bronstein teaches a lot of principles, of openings, middle-game, and end game. If you need to upgrade your skill, you need this book. Good luck.

Comments : Bronstein is an exceptionally enthuastic writer. I don't know if a persons rating can improve by reading this kind of book, but the games and the annotations, which are more words than moves, make it a very entertaining read.

Title : Simply the best
Comments : I do not know how the previous poster can say that he doesn't know if someone's rating can improve by reading this book. I use this book to instruct my students, and within a year of studying this book, they will often gain 400-500 (often to USCF 2000+) points by using this book as their main tool.
