“Neiman challenges his readers to analyse a number of positions of Carlsen’s before explaining in some detail what the champ played, and crucially why. The work concludes with plenty of complete games and, overall, is essentially an excellent collection of lessons, not least from the aspects of technique and psychology.” -- CHESS Magazine

“A revelation about the chess toolkit of today's chess world champion. Highly recommended.” -- Miguel Ararat, Florida Chess Quarterly

“A useful and instructive book!” -- Grandmaster Matthew Sadler, author of ‘The Silicon Way to Chess Improvement’

“I like the way diagrammed positions are set up to illustrate certain themes and after we have failed to work out the plan there is a discussion of how he won. [An] excellent book. I do like the long explanations about style, his patience in dull positions and of course his overwhelming desire to try and win every game.” -- IM Gary Lane, Chess Moves Magazine
