| parisattack: Anyone have a personal review of the new book by Colin Crouch (mentioned some time back on this board) Chess Secrets of the Attackers - Kasparov, Tal, Stein? I have ordered it but not here as yet. |

| parisattack: <But the good news is that Colin Crouch is writing a book in the EVERYMANCHESS Giant of Chess Series on Attacking Chess which features Kasparov, Tal, and Stein(!). Oh yes! See http://www.everymanchess.com/displa... for details.> I received my copy of this book and spent some time on the Stein section. I have to say I was a little disappointed. First, I don't think simply classifying Stein as an Attacking Player/'Master of Attack' does his unique style justice. I was hoping to see more about him qua Power Player or Master of the Initiative. This book closely paralleled the discussion in Leonid Stein Master of Risk Strategy by Gufeld and Lazarev. Second, not much if anything about the clearly hypermodern thread that runs through his opening repertoire. I think an initiative-driven player with a hypermodern rep is something special. Third, I thought the entire section just sort of rambled along (although with some excellent content along-the-way) with no particular theme. The upside - the game annotations were sharp, informative. I liked the first Chess Secrets volume (The Giants of Strategy by McDonald) quite a lot better. |

STEIN is back on the Drop Down List!!>
Hi! He does not appear to be on the Drop Down list at all... |
|

|
| parisattack: Actually, he WAS on it at one time - now gone... There are many 'lessor lights' on the list, Stein definately deserves inclusion, IMHO. I have found quite a few Stein games in old Shakmatnyi Byulletins and CCCPs not in the CG database or either of the two English language Stein tomes. As I get time I will post as a collection. Perhaps my mentor <Chessman95> will assist? |

| talisman: <kamalakanta> Hi!... he's back! <parisattack> i agree with everything. Dissapointed is the word.

| HeMateMe: that book of his, the tactical puzzles, is very tough, very useful if you want to beef up your tactical vision. |

| Shams: Chessgames, once again you have stripped Leonid Stein from the home page drop-down menu. You have some kind 'a pree-de-lick-shun? |
|

|
| kamalakanta: Hi! Stein is available in the drop-down menu, if you change your preferences and choose a "longer list of players on home-page". Then he becomes visible. |

| RickN: I think it was a great "lost" for the world of chess players : Leonid died at 39 years old : (excuse me for my english :I live in Belgium). I began to interest me to the career of Leonid Stein (I was 34 years). I don't say why, but I am sure that he would to become a "top 10" in the circle of GMI's world !
Claude (Belgium). (PS : game 5 of Petrossian - Botvinnik (0/1), 1963, is one of my "prefered" games : domination of bishop by a "magic" knight) |

| parisattack: There are eight well-annotated Stein games in: Chess Secrets - Great Attackers. FYI the other Great Attackers are Tal and Kasparov. I would have placed Stein in the Power Play volume of this series but happy to see more of his games annotated. The only Stein tomes I know are: Leonid Stein, Master of Attack (Keene) and Leonid Stein, Master of Risk Strategy (Gufeld, Lazarev). |

| Richard Taylor: It's not good to see him smoking - probably bad eating habits, drinking and smoking killed him. |
|

| FHBradley: A pretty standard cause of death, then. |
|

|
| Richard Taylor: Avoidable, and thus quite unnecessary, though, and if he could have lived longer, as he died quite young: who knows what else he may have done? Korchnoi doesn't smoke or drink , and hasn't done for years. This benefited his play greatly and his life. The photo of him smoking fills me with disgust. |
