This is a game collection of beautiful miniatures. I don't think it could possibly be bad for your chess, especially developing a feel for tactical motifs and attacking, imaginative play. But. A huge but. There are many mistakes, and many combinations have been refuted by the engine (albeit my weak engine), so take the analysis with a grain of salt and check Chernev's evaluations. The annotations are not ideal either.
