Play Hive Like a Champion: Strategy, Tactics and Commentary

Arrived on time and in good condition. Was on my son-in-laws wish list for Xmas and he was very happy with it.

Il libro è in inglese e devo leggerlo più volte per capirlo. I contenuti sono ottimi e completi. Non mi piace il formato troppo grande, il font e la copertina.. Di solito metto un libro in borsa per leggerlo durante una pausa. Pultroppo con questo non posso perché si distruggerebbe..

I'm new to Hive and am really enjoying the game. I knew that it hadn't been around long but looked up books for the heck of it. The bad news; there's only one (so far.) The good news; it's a really good book. The layout is fantastic, as well as the diagrams, the chapters and subchapters, the highlighted hints and strategies, and its length. The book is 200 pages, large pages, 8.5x11, there's a lot of info in there. Ingersoll's writing is thorough without being tedious. One look at the table of contents will show the amount of information within. And again, the diagrams are very clear and helpful but there's also a ton of them, I think it said 300. It's a quality book, I hope he writes more.

Ein geniales Buch mit tollen Tips und Tricks. Genau so habe ich mir es vorgestellt. Daher gibt es hier 5 Sterne.

I gave this book 4 of five stars though if the option was available I might have given it four and a half. It was VERY instructional and my have game has already improved. Some of the things lacking that I am very much hoping for in a sequel I will list, it is these things lacking that prevented the five.1. COLOR, is easier on my eyes, I own the color game not the "carbon" version. I get that color ink is more expensive and I would be willing to pay a few dollars more just for colored bugs.2. Like with chess, I would have liked annotated games with commentary. The examples from the book for strategy and tactics were from actual games but I mean an entire game from the first move on discussed in detail. Another inspired from chess aspect that was missing was puzzles, a made up board position with a challenge like "mate in 3" or what is the best move and why, or a position that looks lost but there is one move that can guarantee a draw etc.3. Some mention and discussion of the upcoming PILLBUG. I know that this book was written before the pillbug so its not fair really but I hope a follow up that includes much discussion of the pillbug is written. The pillbug will be a major game changer.
