Reviews
"Swedish Grandmaster Axel Smith's fourth book for Quality Chess is aimed at achieving better practical results for the tournament player... While Smith is the author of this book, he is by no means the sole contributor to its content with Baskaran Adhiban, David Navar, Aryan Tari, Bu Xiangzhi, Ulf Andersson, Laurent Fressinet and Peter Heine Nielsen all part of the project. Each of these world class Grandmasters has interesting things to say. Street Smart Chess is full of well annotated games and exercises that support the points the author and contributors are trying to make. The level of the content varies, but this book is primarily aimed at players from 2000-2300, though I suspect even stronger players will find much of interest." -- IM John Donaldson

    The seller offered a hard-to-find chess book in "like new" condition at an excellent price. He also allowed me to combine the purchase of two books with only one shipping charge. The book arrived several days ahead of schedule, well-packaged and in the condition described. This is a professional bookseller from whom I look forward to purchasing more books from his outstanding chess book collection in the near future!
