"The book consists of a large number of games, mostly analyzed in considerable detail ... nearly all of these annotations are a pleasure to read, particularly as there is a keen eye for aesthetics throughout the book."
"Above all, The Grandmaster Battle Manual is packed with Kotronias' personal experience, discussed with refreshing honesty. Amongst many subjects, he shares ideas on how to deal with setbacks, the best way to handle weaker opposition, and how to cope with a crucial last round game."
GM Luke McShane, New In Chess
"Engaging explanations... superb examples... a tremendous read... Another aspect I liked a lot was Kotronias' very personal and often humorous commentary. He's able to give his analysis a personal yet always relevant touch... Reading The Grandmaster Battle Manual is not only inspiring and highly enjoyable - it also emphasizes hard work (but not too hard, and not during tournaments), and the need to be practical. 'If you are a perfectionist, you will never approach really high levels', is one of Kotronias' surprising statements; in another chapter he stresses the crucial role of 'annoyance' during games. This book will provide you with food for thought until you can't stop yourself from signing up for the next Open in town."
