#24: Book review: Study Chess with Matthew Sadler

IMHO any book review that doesn't include the target audience in the first paragraph ( e.g GMs & IMs, 1500-2000, under 800) is a useless book review.

A rule of thumb. Writers mainly write for themselves. A GM will have GM material.

I felt like the endame was favorable to white so my choice was Bxc4 bxc4 Rd6 with b6 and Kd7 - Kc7 to follow to safely make a draw. But if you want to win then of course you should keep the bishop alive.

That is not always true. iMs and GMs often make recommendations for beginners, however now that I think about it, they typically begin those reviews by pointing out the target audience.
