Written by WiseFool
I wanna buy a book of Lasker's Complete Games, wether in 1 volume or not. At that time the well-known book by Ken Whyld doesn't ostensibly look very good; I thought the typeface was a bit small. Equally important i'd rather have a biger book. There's also a book by Varnusz that got some bad reviews. There's also one by Soloviev. Any advice about which is the best one?.

So I took all of your advice and then read some books. I finally got my courage back and went to my local chess club to play in another tournament. But I got clobbered again. They even let me play white three times for some reason. I did my homework and looked up the openings; now I know the variations that my opponents played. What am I doing wrong in my games??

I see the phrase Theory of Chess often mentioned, but am not sure what it means. Fortunately most often I hear that the "theory" is the result of experience of cheaply games played, etc...
