Garry Kasparov, arguably one of the greatest chess grandmasters of all time, famously said of his beloved game: "Different players of equal strength often have very difficult opinions of a given position and recommend entirely different moves and strategies. There is ample room here for disparate styles, creativity, brilliancy, and, of course, terrible mistakes." So, too, with DMEK. It is not our intention dictate how the graft unfolding game MUST be played. We aim at the much more modest objective of offering a handful of tactics and strategies that we ourselves have found consistently useful. Such a book as this may therefore be inherently idiosyncratic, and perhaps would have been better titled "DMEK like a Dutchman." Nevertheless, we have tried our best to write the book that we would want to read, back when we were solving these problems for the first time, ourselves.
