Eric Schiller: <Hehateme>Sorry, I forgot about the ridiculous"plagiarism" charge. Winter got his knickers in a bunch because in my combination and tactics books I never said where the game combination was first published! Nor has anyone else, ever! It is indicative of his ...

Eric Schiller: The new book certainly doesn't put the old ones out of business.You can locate all the additional games online and print them out to keep with the old books. There isn't any good reason to pay for another collection of the same games. Of course if you don't own a collection, ...

Eric Schiller: Wikipedia is a disgrace to scholarship. I don't allow my students to cite it. If I ever meet one of the founders, they are likely to suffer permanent injury. They have harmed many people with their lies. I gave up on it years ago after all my linguistic achievements and ...

Eric Schiller: It is sad to see an organizer heralding the fact that they will cover expenses. It is simply unprofessional and insulting to a World Champion not to offer a generous fee in addition to expenses. I have heard this so often from organizers wanting to invite a name player. "We ...

Eric Schiller: <Ulhumbhrus> Your opening comments are strange. 5.Bb5 is a well established line and 7.Nxc6! is the main line. Both sides just follow theory, slipping slightly off the main line but no doubt it was all prepared. Timman's 11.Bxe4 is rare as the queen usually captures. His
