Me already being a huge fan of Levy's work over on YouTube was probably the main reason for me to pick up this book. I've been a fan of Levy's for years - and have been looking forward to it since the moment it was announced. The only true downside is that it was supposed to be aimed at “intermediate” players as well, and since I myself am an intermediate player, I hoped to benefit. I document some of my games and learning experiences on my blog and YouTube channel from the perspective of a beginner-intermediate player! This level of extraordinary dedication - he has also taught chess to schoolchidren previously - has however enabled him to produce a highly inspiring and well-written chess manual that will undoubtedly become one of the most popular chess books of all time.

First was the amazing Queen's Gambit Netflix series, which got me back into playing some online games. His passion for the game drew me in and made chess not only interesting but also actively made me want to play myself.
