Review:
- "The work adopts methods of teaching prevalent in the Soviet Union and Europe, and rather badly needed in this country as an alternative to the catch-as-catch-can way of learning that is prevalent here.Comprehensive Chess Course is a true chess course of the sort that would be formally offered in school. It is designed for a chess coach or teacher." - Harold Dondis, The Boston Globe
Volume II. Look at the diagram at the right. Are you certain how this game should end if A. White is to move? B. Black is to move? (A. 1. f4!, draw; B.1.... f4! and Black wins. See also Volume II, pages 174 and 176.)
