The Moment of Zuke: Critical Positions and Pivotal Decisions for Colle System Players
The modules are well presented. Analytical variations are kept short and simple. Clarity is of great importance and the point of the format is to make the material as easily absorbed as possible....The Moment of Zuke is a very thought-provoking book. David Rudel has certainly tried to do something different to the norm and one gains the distinct impression that the material has been very carefully chosen to aid the learning process. --Marsh Towers Chess ReviewDavid takes the reader to a level of detail and clarity of explanation I've not ever seen before. Let's just say that I'd like to see every chess author, particularly of books on the openings, provide explanations, examples, and insights to this level of quality. --Greg's Chess ProgressThe book is set up as a teaching book. It has seven modules, each relating to a particular theme. While each module is structured somewhat differently, each is very detailed with plenty of examples and guidelines, along with exercises and solutions with explanations. This is not the dry chess opening book! --J. Kaye's Book BlogIn what it claims to do, it is nearly [at the level of] "brilliant" ... Quite a variety on the chess book market and an example how to present an opening in a really fresh and entertaining manner. --English Translation of German review from the German Correspondence Chess FederationI have looked over David Rudel's new books ' Bxh7+' and 'The moment of Zuke' , published by Thinkers Press. These are excellent training tools for the improving chessplayer. Both books are well-written, logically structured and most instructive. Rudel presents his work in such a way that you cannot fail to learn and to be entertained at the same time.Both books are highly recommended! --International Master Andrew Martin
