I wonder how many copies of Mr. Wilson's e-book have sold? (I've seen it in the ad banners here for the last few days. Sorry, subs, I guess you can't see the ad. 😛)
Well, at least the marketing hype is fun to read through.
Since I already have a copy of Fred Reinfeld's two books, "1001 Ways to Checkmate" and "The Complete Chess Course", I doubt that I'd have much desire to purchase Mr. Wilson's e-book. 😉

Compare the first 12 problems in the first pdf document with Reinfeld's "1001 Ways to Checkmate". I did, and these were my results. (I stopped after 12 due to flagging interest. Not sure what I would have found if I had continued.)

Next, compare the second pdf document with Book 3, Chapter 2 of Reinfeld's "Complete Chess Course".
Now draw your own conclusions. 😀

Amazon sells new copies of Reinfeld's "Complete Chess Course", and from the Amazon listing, it seems to me that Reinfeld's book is still in copyright. So I'd be very surprised if we hear from Mr Wilson at all. (If that is indeed his real name.)
