| rudysanford: I stumbled across his book on the Nimzo-Indian in a bookstore, and not yet being a Nimzo/QID player, I have let it sit. Several times. At some point, I could see exploring the Nimzo, or at least having one more book to accompany all of those others in my 'chess waiting room'. At |

Jan-20-09 Queen's Gambit Declined, Tarrasch (D32)
| |
| rudysanford: I have spent a bit of time looking through Tarrasch games and then using the 'find similar games' option. I came across games that even though they looked liked QGD Tarrasch games they were actually listed under ECO D40 for the root of the Semi-Tarrasch, even though what I am ... |

| |
| rudysanford: Does anyone have an opinion on his book- The Ruy Lopez: Winning Chess with 1. P-K4? Has it aged well? Is it still useful? Is it more of a book for white than black? |

May-05-08 Mikhail Chigorin
| |
| rudysanford: Are either Bogoljubov's or Santasiere's books on Chigorin worth getting? I saw that they are mentioned earlier in the thread but didn't see much of opinion one way or the other regarding their worth. I would guess that the Khalifman edition would be worthwhile, but I have not ... |

| |
| rudysanford: Does anyone have any opinion on his book Soviet Chess? I have a bit of Christmas money and am thinking of buying it, but that purchase would use up most of this windfall. If it matters, I am interested in chess history, personalities, and anecdotes, as well as analyzed games. |

Sep-05-07 Siegbert Tarrasch
| |
| rudysanford: [originally I was going to paste this in the Rauzer vs Botvinnik, 1933 1933 B72 0-1 page but it is probably better here] I wonder if part of Tarrasch's dogmatism was bred by what he perceived his audience to be. I have gone through the Dover translation of The Game of Chess and ... |

Nov-27-06 Paul Keres
| |
| rudysanford: Today I was googling through newsgroups regarding Keres' style and came across a comment that someone attributed to Botvinnik. Supposedly Botvinnik claimed that ultimate success eluded Keres because his style remained old fashioned. Can anyone explain what Botvinnik meant? |

| rudysanford: rudysanford: Thanks for the postings to my question. When I don't get Soviet Chess by Soltis for Christmas, I will go out and buy it myself. I stumbled across R. N. Coles Dynamic Chess for under $3.00 in a used book store. I haven't had time to play over the games yet. ... |
