Reviews

"His own analyses are everywhere, which in Marin's case doesn't just mean a novelty here or there but also involves some well-thought-out arguments. His explanations are world class." GM Glenn Flear, New in Chess "The depth and thoroughness of the introductory comments is absolutely astounding. I now know that my knowledge of the deeper strategies behind these lines was very superficial and left much to be desired on several levels. This book is simply phenomenal and a must buy for anyone playing either side of the Ruy Lopez." Carsten Hansen, ChessCafe
