II = Initial Impression: This is a book I have just started reading, usually there is something that I wan to share about the book that can’t wait for a full review.
MR = Mini Review: This is a book that I did not finish or bought just to read sections of. Just because I didn’t finish it doesn’t mean I thought it was terrible, it’s just, well I don’t have as much time to devote to chess as I’d like.
