Sean Marsh, Marsh Towers:
"The more I read, the more I realized that the quality of material on offer was of a very high calibre... a very interesting book and definitely a cut above standard instructional work. It is reminiscent of some of Dvoretsky's books in some respects, albeit in a more accessible way."
