Has anybody ever read this book?

 Can you explain why doing tactics puzzles is bad for your chess education? I'm really puzzled by that one.

 I did not write that doing tactic puzzles is bad for one's chess education. I wrote that I try to avoid authors such as Reinfeld, Horowitz, Schiller and Pandolfini, whose books often turn out to by sloppily written and full of errors. Reading worthless books is bad for one's chess education.

I have that book

It has old english notations

There are both algebraic (1 e4 e5) and descriptive (1 P-K4 P-K4) versions of Winning Chess by Irving Chernev and Fred Reinfeld.

i almost completed the book

I am 70 years old now. I had it when I was a teen and you could hardly find any chess books (60s and early 1970s) I think this book got me to 1500 + USCF. It may be out now in algebraic notation. One of my favourite books in high school.
