Another review

There is a review on Chesscafe by Amatzia Avni. Avni gives five stars out of six, but at the same time he is not entirely positive. But I don't think the chess player to the right cares about his objections. (Photo credits)
Don't miss to read the entertaining review!

When the book was published, a Swedish book seller ordered three copies. They were sold before their physical appearance - so he ordered five more! And it continued...
I met him at a tournament this weekend and asked for my book, but guess what? It had sold out the first day. The businessman said:
-The sale figures doesn't drop as usual. It's a troublesome book!

In the Swedish Chess Magazine for december 2013, they mention a game where I blunder a piece in the 8:th move.
- The move isn't recommended for anyone who wants to pump up his rating.

Now I will try to get some weeks vacation. Merry Christmas!
