I figure this post won't be of much use to others, considering that chess seems to be mostly my own interest, but...
If you enjoy chess and you want a leg-up on your other family members, this is a key book for you. To plumb its secrets entirely will take quite a while, but by reading through at least the rudiments of it you'll have quite an head-start on most of America.
Silman's thinking technique and his list of imbalances are things of beauty. Their simplicity rivals that of Dale Carnegie, who I praised heavily for similar qualities in my last post.
This book is gonna get your game on-- I give it my blessing.
