    Format and layout are underappreciated aspects when it

    comes to chess books. All too many chess books are

    predominantly blocks of variations, type set in a thicket

    of numbers and letters such as B 3.285(b) with

    following variations set in a maze of parenthesis and

    ellipses.

    Picking one book at random from my shelf has text.

    such as”11 N-c2 (11f4? ExF4 12 Rxf4 N4d5 13 Nxd5 Nxd5

    14 Rf1 Ne3?? Occurred once but 14…Nc3! 15 Qb3 Nxc2 is

    extremely strong) 11…Nc6 (…Nc2 12Qc2 c6 13 a4 gives

    interesting compensation12 Bxc6 bxc6 13d4 (14…two

    games have gone……”
    This was only the first half of the paragraph and this

    book was voted book of the year by readers of Chess Café.

    I don’t know how many readers actually will sit down

    with a set and go through books like this. They have

    stronger constitutions and more patience than I.

    Another aspect of layout common to most chess

    books is the choice of where to put diagrams. Generally

    they are placed at the beginning of a variation thicket so

    the reader has to play out the variation to see if the

    position at the end of the variation thicket is one the

    reader might actually might be one that matches the

    reader’s style, a position the reader finds of interest, a

    position the reader might actually prepare to play.

    On the other hand, Thinkers Publishing almost always

    formats books so they can be useful in a practical sense.

    The editors allow the author to cut through mazes of

    and select the most important and useful. Today

    uses a database so those who want to delve deeper can

    do so with a right click.

    I for one particularly appreciate that Thinkers often

    places diagrams at the end of variations. This allows

    readers to see where the variation is going with out taking

    out a set and playing through all the moves. The variation

    I quoted from an award winning book, with a diagram at

    the beginning of the variation is like getting on a train not

    knowing where the train is headed. On the other hand,

    Thinker’s format with the diagram at the end is like seeing

    the destination first and then choosing whether or not to

    get on the train.

    I now have 18 books from Thinkers Publishing and

    have never been disappointed. I wish my finances allowed

    me to have more.

      Thanks Alan for your honest review, at the moment we work with 3 different kind of software to optimize our books, and we will try
      to do so for the following ones, and trust me there are some serious one coming. On the other hand the economic crisis caused by
      a Russian war makes life tough and we wished we could lower our prices and enable customers like you to buy more Thinkers books.
      Anyhow, I started Thinkers because most content and layout produced by the existing publishers was so bad, I got brain and eye damage.

      And be aware that all ‘book awards’ competitions are not real ones, we never enter these competitions because we know upfront who will win.
      It will hardly ever be Thinkers. We live by serious comments from our buyers like yours, not by jury members who are fully clueless and paying paid to
      write nonsense.
