("Chess Strategy Explained"-Bartłomiej Macieja Witalis Sapis- Sawit 2021)

"These strategic manuals by two experienced trainers are a must for any instructor! 
I recommend using them for students with USCF ratings ranging from 1300 to 2500. 
I have read many instructional books since my junior years but never have I come 
across such an easy-to-digest way of presenting examples—only a few moves with 
simple, clear verbal explanations of the ideas from the players themselves! The 
examples used vary in level of difficulty and going through all of them will only 
solidify one’s strategic understanding. The exercise chapters (Chapter 3 for Vol 1 
and Chapter 7 for Vol 2) add more instructive value as it can be used either as in-class 
group exercises or individual homework. Any club leader, camp instructor or chess 
coach will be able to find the topical chapters useful when preparing for their regular 
lessons. And I won’t be surprised if they improve their strategic intuition as well in 
the process!”
