In reviews of the author's books, Grandmaster Matthew Sadler wrote in New In Chess about David LeMoir's writing ... always either entertaining or instructive, and Grandmaster Jonathan Rowson (in the English Chess Federation's Newsletter) wrote I like LeMoir's writing style a lot!.
David LeMoir has written three popular and highly acclaimed chess books: How to Be Lucky In Chess, which showed how to use psychology to lure your opponent into error; How To Become A Deadly Chess Tactician, a worldwide hit which helped thousands of players to see spotting and analysing tactics as their friends, not things to be feared or shied away from; and Essential Chess Sacrifices, which made learning each of the fifteen most common piece sacrifices as easy and effective as learning a chess opening variation.

He has also become one of the UK's most popular chess feature writers, his work having appeared in a number of national and regional magazines. Much of his work helps his readers to understand tactics and combinations in new ways, making it easier for them to spot such opportunities in their own games. This book brings together all of his articles for national magazines, a selection of articles from regional magazines plus an excerpt from each of his three previous books. Interspersed throughout are comments by the author on the trials, tribulations and motivations of the chess author. Prepare to be instructed and entertained!
Praise for Chess Scribe: He is one of those rare talents with the necessary skill to help his readers better understand their craft... Compelling reading ... Because his writing is often very funny, LeMoir's ideas tend to stick in the memory - Ben Graff in CHESS Magazine. Now... a new audience can read his witty, clever and instructional articles... a glorious collection of chess articles that will keep you entertained and help to improve your rating - IM Gary Lane in the English Chess Federation's newsletter.
