Book Reviews of Zuke 'Em-The Colle Zukertort Revolutionized: A chess opening system for everyone, now bullet-proofed with new ideas
Book Review: Zukertort for dummies
Summary: 5 Stars
As an inexperienced chess player, I found this highly elucidating gem instructive and empowering. Particularly helpful to me was the author's unassuming, and therefore not condescending, "Zukertort for Dummies" approach of Chapter 3 in his thorough explanation of the players and their roles in the big picture. From there, it was an easy fit, like a comfortable pair of well-worn gloves.
There is a casualness in the writing by David Rudel that made the reading of it relaxing and unintimidating, as many chess books can be quite otherwise, if not downright tedious. His style is also a breath of fresh air in the sometimes stodgy and rarefied air in world of chess, that often can seem humorless, as well. Indeed, Mr. Rudel's deft, subtle humor drew me in in ways no other chess book has before.
This book has the potential of drawing in countless numbers to the game, especially those who need a little boost in developing their confidence and skill level. Had this book been available to me years ago, I might have not had to wait so long to become a better chess player. This book is truly a labor love, written by a passionate and caring author.
Well done, Mr. Rudel. Long may you Zuke 'Em.

Summary of Zuke 'Em-The Colle Zukertort Revolutionized: A chess opening system for everyone, now bullet-proofed with new ideas
For decades, the chess world has run down the reputation of the Colle-Zukertort (a.k.a. The Rubinstein Attack) as an unassuming opening, claiming it did not exact the full measure of pain from Black in the quest to equalize. If such is the case, why do strong players (as Black) avoid the Zukertort? Instead they opt to play any of several pet defenses rather than deal with the constriction and onslaught of the main line. In Zuke 'Em: The Colle-System Revolutionzed, Rudel explains the basics of the Zukertort and then provided plenty of new ideas to address these various pet defenses that cowardly opponents may choose. In this book you will also find: 1.Introductory chapters for those who would not know the Zukertort from a Lemon Torte. 2.Analysis in real English from the perspective of someone who has played the opening exclusively for over a decade. 3.A barrage of never-before-published answers and extensive commentary on common lines. 4.A training section to help you retain and test your understanding of the opening.Chess Books
