Ask Rattmann, Rattmann has ...

"Edward Winter is the chess world's foremost authority on its rich history. Through his research and writings he has developed a unique voice which has brought the game's history to life for chess lovers all over the world."
[Yasser Seirawan]

"Writers on chess history and the games of yesteryear are not normally pathfinders or perfectionists, but Edward Winter is an exception, taking great pains not only to tackle difficult research tasks but also to present the facts precisely. Throughout his writings he keeps the reader fully aware of the source of the information offered, and such respect for truth, which is also respect for the reader, is rare indeed in chess literature."
[Jan Timman]

"Winter's absolute insistence on excellence (and his absolutely scrupulous fairness), together with his unremitting attacks on the cheapjacks and schlock merchants of the chess-book world, have had profoundly beneficial effects upon chess publishing."
[Kingpin]

"Over the years he has not only amassed a vast amount of knowledge on chess lore - much of which had been lost or forgotten in the passage of time - but he has shown great skill in evaluating, correcting, utilizing and publishing this information. A perfectionist through and through, his energy and enthusiasm are fuelled by a commitment to presenting the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth."
