This book, then, differs from others in that the games contained within are games between Category I players and Candidate Masters. These games were selected from recent (1982) U.S. tournaments. In these games we will see the typical strengths and weaknesses of the Category I player and we'll discuss how the expert, usually, takes advantage of them.
When you play over these games you will take the side of the Candidate Master. If you are going to learn to play like a Candidate Master you may as well sit in his chair. A word of warning-you will not win every game from the Candidate Master's (CM) seat. No Candidate Master can so dominate Category I players, just as no Category I player can expect 100% results against Category II players; there are lessons to be learned from losses and draws as well as wins.
