In chess authors usually write positive reviews for each other in order to get a positive review on their own book. That's something like an unspoken agreement.

I'm usually accused of only giving our books good ratings and everyone's else's bad ratings.

You guys have noticed that Mason hasn't bothered rating SS2 yet.... think there is a reason?

This rating means a lot to me. While I don't always agree with Mason's low ratings (probably because of where I am in my developement) his high ratings carry a lot of weight with me.

Can't wait for a full review.

Hi Beavis:

As I said, I'm not writing any reviews right now. But I have read SS2 and its rating is a 7.

Best wishes,
Mason

Why did Barry put his face on the cover? Do we just assume that he is an egomaniac?

Who's picture should he have put on the cover? Sklansky?

Dan Harrington's picture is on the cover of his books. Do we just assume that he is an egomaniac?

Clearly, the cover should be a picture of this man:

Branding.

If you're on TV right now, it's just smart business sense.
