Apr-12-06    themadhair: Will be represting Ireland in the 21st olympiad in Turin. We are so going to get battered this year. Like last year. and the year before that. And the year ....... Sep-03-08    Alphastar: he wrote a book about the c3 sicilian: <Grandmaster Secrets: The c3 Sicilian> by IM Sam Collins Apr-17-10    Peligroso Patzer: Since there is currently no biographical information for this player, here is a link to his FIDE rating card: http://ratings.fide.com/card.phtml?... Jun-09-10    GrahamClayton: Collins is a qualified barrister. May-05-12    midknightblue: one of my favorite players. Great books and dvd's. My favorites are his e4 repertoire dvd, his c3 sicilian dvd. Waiting for him to earn his third GM norm. Pretty amazing that he is a full-time barrister (lawyer) and such a successful player, who is also cranking out quality chess dvd's and books.
