Feb-19-06    BIDMONFA: Alexander Chernin CHERNIN, Alexander M. http://www.bidmonfa.com/chernin_ale... _ Feb-19-06    WTHarvey: Here are some puzzles from Alexander's games: http://www.wtharvey.com/cher.html Aug-24-06    clampolo: I love the pirc and noone plays it better than Chernin. His book, Pirc Alert, is my favorite book on any opening. Hopefully he writes more. Mar-06-07    Atking: <clampolo: I love the pirc and noone plays it better than Chernin. His book, Pirc Alert, is my favorite book on any opening. Hopefully he writes more.> A very clever way to explain an opening. I like this book too. <lopium: Already stopped to play.> He still play semi rapid tournament as Corsica with good results. As chess trainer he is really wonderfull. Jul-26-08    bravado1: I always thought he's Hungarian. Takes one to know one. Mar-06-10    wordfunph: 1990 U.S. Championship in Jacksonville: GM Alexander Chernin came to Jacksonville to give a well-paid but very poorly attended simul. Somehow, his six or seven opponents stressed him so much that he decided to sit out the U.S. Open. happy birthday GM Chernin! Mar-06-13    JPi: Good points Atkin!
