Re: How to Become a Candidate Master
One of the less enthusiastic reviews recently, even if not a total thumbs down.
I do certainly agree that either you update a "classic" book properly, or simply re-release it as it was originally - warts and all.
Half-cocked and incomplete "revisions" really are the worst of all worlds.

See what differences you can deduce between editions : good luck!
