It would be helpful if there were plenty of positions shown that were analysed, and explanations given of just what was going on in the minds of the players.
 
It would be useful to offer many positions that could be scored, to help assess the reader's  strengths and weaknesses and to help develop an understanding of what makes a good move and why.
