By continually challenging the reader to answer probing questions throughout the book, the Move by Move format greatly encourages the learning and practising of vital skills just as much as the traditional assimilation of opening knowledge.

1d6 Move by Move edition by Cyrus Lakdawala Humor Entertainment eBooks
Lakdawala essentially gives an opening system that can be played against 1.d4 or 1.e4. However, the main value of the book is against 1.d4 openings.The backbone of this system has been called the "Rat" (among) various names. Essentially Black will allow White to set up and then undermine the center. Lakdawala guides the player through some dense analysis with reasonable explanations.
Since the 1980's this opening system has come a long way. At points it's about ideas and at other points it is about the exact move order (or you get clobbered). However, the author does a good job defining the motifs breathing new life into an oddball opening that just might be more fun than its reputation.
So if you are patient, don't mind defending and counter-attacking, and have a strong strategic slant then you might want to explore this opening and this book is definitely the best to date.
My rating floats around the 2100 mark.

1d6 Move by Move edition by Cyrus Lakdawala Humor Entertainment eBooks Reviews
I think this book is well written and engages the reader to think at critical points in the illustrated games. The main lines of the "d6" system are shown with a good explanation of why the chosen moves are played by the author. The book pauses often to ask the student to solve an exercise and then presents the solution. In addition there are a ton of sidelines presented with some explanations for those as well. I would give this a full on five star rating except after diligent reading of the first third of the book I have come to a conclusion about the opening system itself. The effectiveness of the opening presupposes that White will waste a lot of time on the clock because you are using an unusual system and/or that White will inexplicably throw his pawns forward in a kamikaze attack. However I think that if White is patient and chooses a calm slow build up he should contine into the middlegame with a decent edge. (Just my opinion - I am a lowly 1700 player). So... This opening is a good one to confuse your opponents and launch counterattacks should they choose a suicidal attack. One other caveat, the author does explain many times how the "d6" opening has morphed into another system with a better position. For example one of the lines is shown to have become a French opening one tempo down but without the bad French bishop. Other systems mentioned are the Prybil, Alekhine, and Phildor to name a few, so it would be helpful to know a bit about many other openings as well.
So, a good book that helps the student to think critically and an offbeat opening for what that is worth. Final analysis, I would not buy it again.
This opening book has yeild ed many points for me in tournament and match games. When I didn't win my loss was not due to the opening but simply me getting outplayed. I love the way Cyrus weaves questions throughout the book jus as if you were having personnal lessons.
In my chess tournament career, I have never played 1... d6 as black. I bought this book primarily because I found it somewhat annoying to play against as white, especially in blitz games. I have also liked the other books I have read in Everyman's "move by move" openings series, so I had high expectations for this book, which have fortunately been met.
As the author states, his "true chess nature is that of an initiative-challenged chess dullard." In that spirit, this book and black opening repertoire is directed more at those players of a positional rather than tactical bent, recognizing that in any opening there will be lines that lead to more tactical than positional treatments.
I like the Q&A format, and the true measure of my appreciation for the book is that I am seriously considering changing my own black opening repertoire to include 1...d6. I have to admit, though, that although I have skimmed through the whole book, my thorough reading has taken me through only 1/3 of the book so far.
One small complaint is that sometimes he talks down to the reader, with comments such as "White always enters this line expecting something for nothing. With this sense of entitlement..." But this does not seriously detract from the enjoyment or educational value of this book.
Few of the games in the book that are used to illustrate the opening ideas are games of the top grandmasters. This is probably due in large part to the nature of the opening, which isn't particulary popular at the very highest levels. Also, the author at times seems to be a little biased towards black in his analysis, a not uncommon trait in a repertoire book. Nevertheless, I heartily recommend this book to chess players who are looking at this opening from either side of the board, especially players who are unfamiliar with this opening, and players rated below about 2300.
Lots of diverse games, including a hidden gem Kasparov played at his peak.
