I speak as a parent, as a qualified, trained teacher (high school, now uni teacher), as a former kids' coach, and as someone who many years ago was a kid who read chess books by himself. Dry, very dry. I think the book is intended as punishment for misbehaving kids. (kidding of course) i appreciate books that condense knowledge to the most fundamental bits. Looks similar in scope and purpose to Pandolfini's EG course which I thought was a worthy first endgame book.

	I appreciate that Muller is German. I do. But look at the excerpt. For Kids? Not a chance. Nothing in there is for kids. I speak as a parent, as a qualified, trained teacher (high school, now uni teacher), as a former kids' coach, and as someone who many years ago was a kid who read chess books by himself. Dry, very dry.
