I was looking for a nice Christmas present
for my brother in law and that was it. He was
not a beginner and yet, was not ready yet for
the more advanced strategy the kind you read about
in literature on middlegame. I am pretty good at
deducing people's levels and I estimated his to be a D level. Based on my considerations I chose this book and it appeared to be the kind of challenge that he could still go through without getting bogged down, it was a perfect fit. I can speculate that E and D levels who did not have formal education, it provides a certain bridge in your knowledge, but I think even as a beginning C I knew already too much of the material in this book and so cannot fully recommend it to any C level.
