Customer Feedback

A) Feedback from customers (rating unknown);

I just received Book 1 last week and love it! I look forward to future books. ... I have had the Tactics book for a few months now and think it is great. ... [Book 1] is really a hidden gem of a chess book. It's even better than I expected. Thanks! ... I think your books are a gem! I can't wait for the 3rd book of the Series! ... It is obvious that a lot of effort was put in both Book 1 and Book 2. Much appreciated. ... I received my order today, wow, that was fast! I briefly thumbed through it & am quite impressed with the quality of materials, diagram & print size. Thank You!

B) Feedback from customers with known ratings:

1970: I am always reading chessbooks, but your visualization book on Tactics really worked. It has really helped my game.

1900: I really like your "Chess Visualization Course". Since I've got a copy of your book, I practice with it every day. This makes me feel much more confident in my over-the-board calculation. Your book is truly a labor of love and an original contribution to chess training literature with high production quality (I especially appreciate the spiral binding so that the books lies flat on my desk) and very good comments to the positions. I am looking forward to seeing your forthcoming volumes of this course.

1765: I am very happy with [Book 1] and its exercises. Though it is recommended for players 1200-1800 strength, I believe it will benefit anyone from beginners up to and including masters who want to improve their chess sight.

1740: I really appreciate the care, intelligence, and effectiveness with which the examples were chosen. You have clearly labored with love over this very fine work. This 1740 player has now included this book as part of his daily chess training. I look forward to the succeeding volumes.

1670: Before I got [Book 1] I had difficulty seeing 9 half-moves deep. But after working through the book, I began to see 9-10 half-moves without too much difficulty, although 11 half-moves were still pretty cloudy. Then I started using the three techniques described in the book to focus on the longer variations. It wasn't easy, but I kept working at it. The other day at the club I was able to see a pretty long forced variation, which actually played out during the course of the game. I didn't count up the moves until later, but was shocked that the variation I had calculated was 13 [half-]moves deep! That was pretty amazing! I don't know that I can do this every time, but I do know that I could not have done this without your book.

1550: I received your book and have gone through a couple hundred of the exercises. I love it! I can already see a difference in the way I look at the board. Very exciting!

1360: First, I was most pleased with your fast delivery of the book! I am finding [Book 1] extraordinarily useful. I am working through the positions in order, taking my time with each one. I find it very helpful, even essential, to stop and get a clear mental picture after each and every ply, rather than just working through quickly to the end position. With a slower and more methodical process I am able to get through 8-ply examples (that is good for me) with a clear idea of the situation; I even find myself looking at additional moves at that point. I am sure the longer exercises will, in time, become tractable for me as well. The training technique really works. Thank you for a very helpful work, backed by excellence in customer service.

1351: I have had the Tactics book for a few months now and think it is great.
