Book Reviews of Secrets of Modern Chess Strategy
Book Review: A Great non-text book text book!
Summary: 5 Stars
IM John Watson states several times that this book is not a text book. Nonetheless, it is a great learning tool and shows many examples of modern play. While I'm not sure where his target audience was, as a class C player, I found it useful and informative. I especially liked the part on Petrosian and the exchange sacrifice. Spend your money on this book and then study it like a priceless textbook even if the author says it isn't.
