Good:
* Great layout.
* The model games and exercises are taken from interesting and relevant games.

Bad:
* Incomplete e.g.: the author mentioned multiple times that the pieces should be placed differently depending on whether white maintains tension, releases it or advances, but never elaborated on it.
