Refreshing and Inspiring, reviewed by Josh R on June 6, 2006

I liked this book very much. It contains a lot of fresh material - kind of chess that we don't see much in magazines or standard books.

Years ago I've read "Creative Chess" by the same author - the present book seems to be a natural sequel. My favourite parts were "Coffeehouse Chess" (the Chepukaitis episode on page 32 is great!)and the chapter about "Twists & Turns". Also the illustrative game Tate-Ashley is facinating.

The selection of material to the book is excellent: I wasn't familiar with most of the games and I'm an old hand.

From my own experience, reading such books has a positive effet on my play. One point of criticism - I wish the book were longer - I felt I wanted to look at more examples, more out-of ordinary games.
