Reader Feedback on Dan's writings
ICC Message from carro:
I own nearly 1,000 chess books (literally). Yet, the more I read your work, the more I become convinced that you rival the best chess writers in history. You have a rare gift for providing honest clarity. Your earnest efforts to penetrate and inform are greatly appreciated.
email from Josh:
Your writings have changed my life. Not only do I learn a lot about chess, but I learn a lot about learning in general.
Chess.com post about In Defense of Chess Instruction: Knightdreamer :
Dan, Awesome article! I smiled the whole time I read it. In my eyes, you are the best living chess author.
email from Wolfgang:
This year in February, I have played my best chess tournament in my whole chess career. I think this is mainly because of the chess books "The Improving Chess Thinker" and "The Best of Novice Nook". Maybe I can't repeat this little success in the future, but I absolutely convinced of the way your are teaching chess. Regards, Wolfgang PS: Your books: Back to Basics and The World's Most Instructive Amateur Game Book are real eye opener. In particular the last one.
