Edward Winter's latest book, A Chess Omnibus, is ineffably entertaining, but isnt the error-free tome one might expect from so foolishly demanding a personality. I have yet to finish the book, but positions are transposed as early as page 7, and a position is missing a piece on page 145. Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy. Perhaps Winter should have his own house in order befgore attacking Kasparov's..

Written by hunterwalton
I does'nt understand why GMs charge so much for lessons. It's not like the average person can afford $60 an hour. I guess they are still communist and think about making as money as possible at one time. If they were capitalist, they would lower their rate to $40/hr and make more money. For example, getting payed $40/hr for 10 hours is much better than working $60/hr for 5 hours. Plus they wo

Of cuorse, I can easily run Fritz 8 on it, but I don`t always trust its assessaments of wildly opening positions. It does, however, claim that White is winning after 17.Qxc5.
