S.T.A.R. Chess

Summary: A gem by a great author
Review: Paul Motwani's books are stimulating, and I find myself able to work through long variations in his books more than I can in the works of other authors, because of a certain contagious enthusiasm that he has for the game. I like how he ties chess into life, and somehow he gets me to work through his books, while many so-called classics put me to sleep. STAR Chess (low-priced here at Amazon) is a wonderful book. Working through the chapter on the Sicilian Dragon (focused on the Yugoslav) is alone worth the price of the book. This is along book packed with chess, and with other fun things, such as word and math problems, thrown in to keep you alert. One gets the feeling that this author really wants his readers to love and aimprove at chess. I heartily recommend all of his books. Grab them while you still can!
