The sexist cover alone makes this book a collector’s item: it is wrong in so many ways. Nevertheless, I gained a couple of hundred elo points by analyzing the positions that are in it. If you are relatively new to chess, studying tactics will pay off big time.

I’m reading it too at this moment. In Dutch, by the way, which is funny as there are so many references to the Netherlands. Indeed a book to dive into and forget about the here and now, though it’s not particularly a walk in the park there and then. At times it feels a tiny bit slow, but I’m enjoying it so far.
