Rule 1. Never ever lend out a chess book - you never get them back.
Back to Dvoretsky.
Have to remember that English is not his mother tongue so he cannot
embelish as well as Reinfeld and Chernev.
Also he is a much stronger player than those two ever were
and perhaps he has lost his grass roots.
Reinfeld and Chernev never shot above the level of their readers.
I can think of no title aimed solely at over 2200 players.
Dvoretsky on the other can and has but in doing so has not
reached the lower graded players as well as those two did.
Absolute beginners are not his forte.
