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.
