• It is subject to individual taste as to whether the author trio picked the right lines. I think they have done an excellent job at locating very diverse, daring, and fascinating lines with plenty of scope for fresh explorations and rich play. The analysis, in the places that I have tested it, is completely up-to-scratch, and their evaluations seem for the most part to be objective. So, if you are in the market for some fresh ideas to inject into a stale repertoire, then this book is definitely worth picking up. It has plenty of ideas that can be used both as a surprise weapon in an individual game or as a staple in your repertoire. (***** out of 6) - Carsten Hansen - ChessCafe.com
