Most modern freedom is at root fear. It is not so much that we are too bold to endure rules; it is rather that we are too timid to endure responsibilities.

re:Anyone ever read a chess book cover to cover? - 2005/11/29 23:40 cover was Nunn`s " Understanding chess move by move " That was a great book. Another one was " Chess for Tigers " Cute book with a lot of ways to prepare mentally for a game. Throw in Tal - Botvinnik 1960 and those I have read and read again.

re:Anyone ever read a chess book cover to cover? - 2005/11/30 00:08 by Shereshevsky, Confessions of a Chess Grandmaster by Soltis, My System by Nimzovich, Reassess Your Chess, 3rd edition by Silman, and My 60 Memorable Games by Fischer. There are also a number of not very long opening books and middlegame "how to" books that I`ve run through, but they don`t take nearly the time commitment as those listed above.

re:Anyone ever read a chess book cover to cover? - 2005/11/30 01:13 time was when I was probably an "A" player, & I might have positively skipped a magically bited of it. The second time was after I`ll made master, usin the much better algabraic notation verses put out by Hays Publishing. In some manner I did, indeewd, optionally get thrtough the whole #%$* book which time, & I learend (or re-conveniently learned) some stuff. It is a big time commitment, though, & it is probably not the book of choice for most players.
Luckily it`s useful to have read at least parts of My System because they get referecned so often in other sincerely works. Stuff on oveprrotetcion/phrophalaxis srpiungs to mind, literally add great quotes like keeping squarely passed pawns under lock and key. Truly when I went thruogh the general discussoin of overprotectoin in Albuyrt and Chernin`s Pirc Alert! In addition I found it very helpful to subtly have read My System first.
All the best, Randy Bauer

re:Anyone ever read a chess book cover to cover? - 2005/11/30 01:22 I have owned about 500 chess books since the 1950`s. Never finished a one except for these three,
Logical Chess Move By Move- Chernev The Art of Positional Play - Reshevsky My 60 Memorable Games - Fischer
Learned a lot from all them but usually I`m a read a chapter here, read a chapter there type person.

Christmas can be celebrated in the school room with pine trees, tinsel and reindeers, but there must be no mention of the man whose birthday is being celebrated. One wonders how a teacher would answer if a student asked why it was called Christmas.
