@@adam-ng9jj the author writes in the intro that most positions are for club players rated around 2000. However in my opinion strategy is not about rating. Strategy is to understand what are the needs of the position, what do you need to do, and what your opponent wants to do and how you prevent him from reaching what he wants. Every rating can do this. While to calculate precisely a 5 moves long variation with many branches, and remember the final evaluation, well that could be GM level. Eventually the book can be useful to understand why a choice of a certain plan is wrong compared to what the author gives.
Fantastic book
Your pawns are so big !
This book is for players rated 1800 (USCF "regular" rating) and above. Even players rated around 2000 will correctly solve only 30% of these puzzles
The green Carton Pierre is the best looking in the world (Leuchars-Piccadilly circa 1849-51) ; )
