"... he takes you on a 500-page tour of beautiful studies and fiendish problems. ... soon I was hooked, and much of the credit likes in the way Lakdawala sets up the subject. Lakdwala is an excellent host to keep you motivated as the difficulty of the problems increases graudually throughout the book, with some touches of humour and an engaging chatty manner. A thoroughly enjoyable book! Recommended! 4 stars!"

Rewire Your Chess Brain is not just about endgame studies. Approximately twohundred pages are devoted to problems (mates in two, three and four moves).While famous American endgame study composers are relatively few in numberthat isn't the case with chess problems. Two of the giants in the field, Sam Loydand William Shinkman, were both from the United States and figure prominentlyin this book. Problems, due to their seemingly artificial nature, are a bit harder sellfor tournament players, but Lakdawala makes a good case for why are useful.Those looking for a new tool for their chess training will find Rewire Your ChessBrain a user-friendly entry to the fields of endgame studies and problems.

At first, it might seem obscure to look at positions that might not crop up during your typical games but in the long run it does work... Lakdawala has a comfortable role in selecting lots of positions many of which are well known but suitable for a new audience. He certainly comes across as being passionate about the subject and makes a great effort to emphasize the point that problem solving can increase your ability. An enjoyable way to raise your rating.
