  al wazir: P. W. Sergeant "co-edited" (with R. C. Griffith; the work was actually done by Walter Korn) the 7th edition of _Modern Chess Openings_.
Jan-11-09  Karpova: C.N. 5943 lists Philip Walsingham Sergeant's non-chess books (and there's also a picture): http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/...
Jan-27-12  brankat: A fine writer indeed.
Jan-27-16  TheFocus: Happy birthday, Phillip Sergeant.

Love the Pillsbury book!!

Mar-03-17  zanzibar: C.N. 5943
Mar-03-17  zanzibar: Winter can't possibly be getting permission to use all the photos he includes on his website.

Could he? I wonder.

Mar-03-17  TheFocus: Winter used to have a photo gallery that had a yellow line across each photo so he could tell if you had cribbed them from his site. Notice was that they were copyrighted.

I asked Hanon Russell of chess Cafe, where the photo gallery was at the time, how Winter could claim copyright on photos taken from a magazine or journal, such as British Chess Magazine? What stopped anyone else from doing the same thing?

I believe that the claim of copyright was retracted.

Later, all of Winter's stuff was removed from Chess Cafe.
