On “The Secret of Chess”

 And so, despite the somewhat outrageous claims and poor written English of the introduction, I pushed on, hoping to find at least one or two useful training nuggets.

ironically, Amazon classifies it under ‘Humour and Entertainment’)

 I do get the impression from reading the book that chess programmers comprise Tsvetkov’s primary audience. 

To be honest, I feel that Tsvetkov could be a little biased here by his large experience playing against engines

From a regular reader’s perspective, the tables and precise values aren’t very helpful.

If I had written this book and got this rather poor review I would be disappointed to say the least

Are you part of that company?

I might drop you a mail at info@gwtr.com

When?

As*ho*e.

Why don't you print the whole review? : https://en.chessbase.com/post/the-secret-of-chess

You have taken out, SHAMELESSLY, all the bad parts, and even mixed one with another to make the effect stronger.

That is what my opponents are: LIARS.

I am happy with the reading public I have, comprised of good, conscientious, hard-working people.

I don't want to sell my book to you, really.

Where is:

- one of a kind book

- fresh and new approach

- change the way we think about chess

- something that has been missing for a long, long time from chess literature, etc. ?

Where, can you tell me?

I am abhorred, that is what I can say, I am abhorred.

When I deem it necessary.

You will know about it.

Would not that be what they call spam?

There's no denying that it is a "one of a kind book" and offers a "fresh and new approach" that could conceivably "change the way we think about chess", but that doesn't necessarily make it good. Let me remind you that Smerdon said it had the potential to change the way we think about chess, not that it would, and that a "one of a kind book" with a "fresh and new approach" means nothing if not supported by facts, and that - wouldn't you know it - the one thing the book is lacking is facts. You cannot prove that you played any of those games, and multiple credible members have cast substantial doubt on the conditions of the games, which are alleged to have taken place with massive time handicaps and with a copy of Stockfish which has been manipulated to play at a lower strength.
