	Uitgebreide bespreking door Peter Doggers en Arne Moll
Citaat: "The stronger a player is, the more likely he is to begin by saying: ‘I don’t know!’. (…) It is much wiser to approach chess with a ‘I don’t know let’s see’-mindset than an ‘It’s like this, I’ll prove it’-mindset."
	Citaat: "If you think your play is clever while you are playing, it almost always means that you are missing something (…)."
Citaten: "It is no coincidence that ‘I was completely outplaying him’ is usually followed by a ‘but…’ (…) Chess games are not won by good understanding but by good play." ‘The Noble Apprentice’: "I lost, but that’s OK because I learned something."
	"Concentration is not staring hard at something, it’s not trying to concentrate."
Bespreking op Amazon.com: door een lezer uit Santa Fe Citaat: In the present book, he starts out by considering why chess is "hard" and "hard to learn" and most importantly, why beyond a certain point we have trouble improving.
