Does he provide the entire game? I can't seem to locate it at <CG>. |

| Jul-30-08 | | GeauxCool: GM Gdanski |
|
| Jul-31-08 | | whiskeyrebel: Geauxcool, sorry. I read a university library copy that's been returned so I can't look it up. Hopefully Everett can help. |
|
| Jul-31-08 | | protean: <GeauxCool><Does he provide the entire game?> No, I'm afraid he doesn't. |

 | | GrahamClayton: I found it interesting that Rowson did not receive an invitation to compete in the 2008 British championship, despite winning a hat-trick of British titles in 2004, 2005 and 2006. Either the ECF did not have the funds to give a financial incentive to Rowson, or they wanted the tournament to be the "English Championship". |
|
| Nov-07-08 | | hrvyklly: <Brown: ... How is the one on the Grunfeld?> Possibly the best book on any opening I've ever read - highly recommended. |
|
| Nov-07-08 | | hrvyklly: <whiskeyrebel: Everett, I think Rowson has ruined some other chess writers for me. His annotated games are loaded with so much personal insight it's hard to go back to less titillating works without storylines.> Me too, 'normal' annotations are just too bland and dry in comparison. |
|
| Mar-04-09 | | whiskeyrebel: I finally picked up a copy of the "Seven Deadly Chess Sins". It's a great read so far, very unique and well written. |

 | | SetNoEscapeOn: <wordfunph: I've got a book "The 7 Deadly Sins" written by GM Jonathan Rowson, a good read!> Definitely one of my favorite chess books. Few players discuss their thoughts as thoroughly and openly as Rowson. |
|
| Apr-19-10 | | ycbaywtb: the thing i never understand about these GM's that reach 2600 or so is so many have so few games played he has like 400 in 17 years, barely 20 a year
if i was this good in chess i'd play all the time |

they might start whispering to each other."

| Nov-21-11 | | Albertan: Jonathan Rowson now his his Doctorate degree and leads leads the RSA Social Brain project. "After degrees from Oxford and Harvard, his Doctoral research was an examination of the concept of wisdom, including a detailed analysis of the challenge of overcoming the psycho-social constraints that prevent people becoming 'wiser', similar to what the RSA terms the 'social aspiration gap'." The Homepagpe of the RSA project is:
http://www.thersa.org/ I hope the administrators of Chessgame will include this update concerning Dr. and GM Rowson. I wonder how many people in the World have a doctorate degree in some academic field (or Medical field) and are also a Chess Grandmaster? I know that Robert Hubner also holds both distinctions. Hubner is a papyrologist (an expert in Egyptian hieroglyphics). |
|
| Nov-21-11 | | Albertan: I saw GM Rowson win this game at the 2000 Canadian Open in Edmonton,Alberta: P Wells vs J Rowson, 2000
I talked with him and I also had him autograph my copy of his book, "Understanding the Grunfeld (1998). Gambit Publications." |

| | wordfunph: "Affirm your mistakes; don't deny them. Try to appreciate them and learn from them because they are inevitable. Observe yourself carefully before you play and enjoy the experience of
playing. And, of course, buy my books!"
- GM Jonathan Rowson
ok, will buy your books :)
happy birthday, GM! |

| Apr-14-13 | | voyager39: Read your article http://chessbase.com/Home/TabId/211...
on Chessbase.
Wish you could come up with a more educated analysis of Kramnik's interview http://chessbase.com/Home/TabId/211... |
|
| Apr-18-13 | | Everett: Player of the day has written some very enjoyable books: The Seven Deadly Chess Sins and Chess for Zebras. Never got my hands on his Grunfeld book, though I never could wrap my head around that opening anyway. Happy Birthday and thank you Mr. Rowson. |
