The Comfort Zone: Keys to Your ChessSuccess by Daniel Gormally falls into the improvement category and isintended for a target audience of roughly 1800-2300, though I suspect evenstronger players will find parts of this book of interest. Written in Gormally’sentertaining and self-deprecating style, The Comfort Zone: Keys to YourChess Success offers a potpourri of suggestions on how to improve backed upwith carefully chosen.One example illustrates how far opening theory has advanced due to ever morepowerful engines.Gormally -Haussernot, played at Hastings in 2015.Gormally writes hehad mixed feelings after this game. That winning without essentially making amove of his own didn’t provide satisfaction. Personal observations like theseare found throughout The Comfort Zone: Keys to Your Chess Success andmake this book a fascinating read for those wanting an insider’s look at top levelchess. IM John Donaldson, US Chess, 09.2021.
