I bought this kindle book Friday night after Stephen Dann mentioned it to me.

The book is a lot of fun - It is kind of like a cross between "Logical Chess Move by Move", Tactics Time, and Alex Dunne's yearly collection of miniatures in "The Check is in the Mail".

The book is perfectly formatted for kindle, with tons of diagrams (pretty much a diagram for every move) - 1. e4 (diagram) 1...e5 (diagram), etc.

After a series of light hearted and funny annotations and background about the players and positions and opening, the author presents the "kill shot" as a puzzle - with 4 different hyperlinked moves to chose from.  I probably would not have done this part myself (I don't like to give hints in general) - but for players less than 1000 it might be nice for them to have different moves to choose from.

Several of the game ideas I had presented myself - but from different players!  One game in the book was a trap in the Caro Kann from a Brian Wall game ICC that I just put out about 2 weeks ago (the nymphomaniac attack).  This book had the same game, but different players.  Same with a trap in the Bird.

I recognized a lot of the traps and tactics from other books and software, but most people are not going to be as familiar with the subject.  And even if I had seen the tactic before, I hadn't always seen the full game.

Opening traps, and short games are a ton of fun - and I think the author is on to a great idea here.  I read about half the book in one sitting, and will probably finish it today. 

The kindle book is only 3 dollars, so I would say is a "no brainer" to pick up.
