Tim Harding is one of the world's leading experts in the field of
correspondence chess, and it shows in this excellent book by his amazing
skills of in-depth analysis.  This is a book for intermediate players, and
covers all the basics of strategy, tactics, sacrifice, development, endgame,
middle game... 30 chapters with a little bit of everything.  The print style,
condensed algebraic with plenty of diagrams, makes it very easy to read.  I
was very impressed by the breadth of issues he covered in the book as well.
Having plenty of diagrams was a blessing, because it meant I didn't have to
bring a chessboard with me to follow along in the book, which can be very
inconvenient if you like to read while traveling.  I highly recommend this
book, and the price makes it a steal!
