his was an excellent positional instructional book. Most of the book dealt with pawn development and strategy. It is a book that deals with the finer elements of the game. It teaches lessons on strongholds, pawn chains, isolating the Queen pawn, and how to push a minority pawn structure forward. The book is easy to read with little detailed instruction of multiple moves. It is not for the highly developed player, but for the casual player, it will certainly improve his or her game. This was a good book for a 1200 to a 1400 player. So far, I am maintaining a strong 1500 ranking on Yahoo, with a 1610 max. It was a great book.

Chess sounds really interesting. Know of any good hockey books? I’m still pretty new to hockey. Awesome sport to watch. Really intense! What do you think about the Stanley Cup match up?
Say. You read 7 Practices of Effective Ministry right? I read it too and wrote a review of it on my blog. Great book! I plan to utilize it fully when I get into full time ministry.
God bless! Peace.
My favorite hockey book is “The Game” by Ken Dryden. It is a great book if you do not mind them swearing in French. 7 Practices is one of the better Ministerial books I have read lately.
