Anyone read this book. A collection of positions, and some games. NO annotations, or answers to the positions.
Cant seem to figure out what to do with it. How do i get the ideas from the diagrams?😕
(I tried to buy the book in 1997, but the USCF was sold out. Then they stopped carrying it. Vince, who handled my call, suggested Lev Alburt's Chess Training Pocket Book instead, which I subsequently bought several years later.)

I think the point of Ram's book is to help you increase your powers of visualization. Keep it as a bedside book and work with a few positions each night without using a board. Keeping a journal with your notes on the positions might be helpful to. You can then compare your findings later with a stronger player.
