Tremendous

This is a top-of-the-line Batsford chess book, filled with beautiful thematic examples that examine the impact of castling in chess. Mr. Timmer's real accomplishment, however, is in producing a highly instructive and entertaining chess manual. His style is witty and conversational. I found myself sticking with this book while many others sat dormant on my shelves. Do not dismiss this as a book only about castling; it is about chess strategy, as seen through the lens of castling, and it is both instructive, entertaining, and beautifully produced.
