Unlike other chess books, Yasser's format and writing style is very clear. He doesn't overload you with variation of moves. His style of writing is like he's there as you read his book. It not all dull and sterile like some chess books are! The subject matter is organize and if you feel you know the material, he test what he wants you to take from the chapters. This is a must for players who are just starting and those who wants to improve their games.
