Horizons Magazine"

candidate moves to choose from, remember Hertan's advice!"--Steve
Goldberg "ChessCafe"
"When I remind students to look for forcing moves, I often say:
'look at all checks and captures'. Forcing Chess Moves explains
eloquently that this advice is along the right lines but distorted
because finding the most forcing move is not always as simple as
checking out Qxh7+. Sometimes the most forcing move is not a
capture or a check, but a surprising way to make a threat - even a
quiet move."--Jennifer Shahade
"You will increase your tactical striking powers a lot."--Erik
Rausch "Rochade Europa"
"By organizing and explaining the nature of great chess moves
Hertan has brought us all closer to being able to find them."--Joel
Benjamin, Former Us Champion
