Recensioner i media

"[Geller] does a fine job explaining the key features of positions without droning on. The analysis is also well-tuned, with lines going deeply enough when it is necessary, but without overwhelming readers. The games themselves are fantastic…Purdy once said that the best way to improve was to 'play against champions' by studying their games and testing our ideas against their moves and analysis… The Nemesis provides a model for how we might understand that dialogue today, including silicon-enhanced insights, without harming or undermining Geller's particular genius." -- John Hartmann, Chess Life
