I am in a similar situation. Adult, but already 54 years old, chess.com rating maybe 1000. Sometimes practiced some tactics and worked through 8 lessons from Chernev Logical Move. The last has brought me something.

Copyright
Something is not clear to me:
If I want to publish a course with the contents of the book of the author XY at chessable, then I have to get permission from the author first? And if the author is already dead, but the book is still relocated?
How does chessabe solve these problems?

Even for beginners the annotations is juste terrible. I went through it at an early stage and even then I would skip parts of it because of how repetitive and superficial it was.

Though King safety is paramount, when material leaves the board and opponents head into the endgame, all serious students of the game will - as Wilhelm Steinitz once prescribed- quickly strive to use the King for what it is: a vital attacking piece.

But unless one is particularly gifted, awareness of the king's ability to be such an attacking piece must be developed. This is precisely the goal of Dr B's mini-course.

After having completed the book's 60 tactical variations (6 are informational), most of which were selected from games where both players had at least a rating of 2200, I can state unequivocally that the author has reached his noble yet practical objective in a surprisingly and refreshingly concise and elegant manner.

Is there a reason why this book, the first in Dr B's renowned "On the Attack" series, shouldn't be on your virtual library’s shelf? In a word: no!

So, do yourself a favour and immediately purchase this book and set aside a few minutes a day to run through it: one or two hours should suffice for the variations and a few more to really let the principles involved sink in.

Who can ask for anything more? No one, really. But Dr B, in his infinite generosity of spirit, has in fact given the reader of this wonderful mini-course even more: 60 Master games included as a bonus chapter for those who, like me, get great enjoyment out of seeing how their betters did things...

5/5 stars.

I think this is an excellent book. But the achilles heel of any Sicilian book is to have some coverage of the anti-sicilians. You learn all this, and then, hardly anyone plays the open sicilian.
Thanks
