| 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 this point in time, is this work on the Nimzo still worthwhile? It seemed good, but this is an opening that I have never played and know nothing much about. I have only come across it by going over the occasional master game of players that I am interested in. |

Several times.> I suppose some of the variations are out-of-date by now - and the variations start fairly deep into things. But Gligo's annotations are always good reading. For the Nimzo-Indian perhaps Mastering the Nimzo-Indian by Tony Kosten is a better first-read. Gligo never avoided (as White) allowing the Nimzo 'on principle' as it were. In I Play Against Pieces introducing Gligoric-Janosevic (Game 61) he writes: 'I think there is a kind of 'creative obstinacy' in me and that's why I was constantly bothered by the fact that many Grandmasters as White tend to avoid the Nimzo-Indian - as if it were like tasting poison. |

| parisattack: In DeLucia's new Bobby Fischer Uncensored book there are three of the training games Fischer played with Gligo in 1991. Curiously, all three Mar Del Plata KIDs - the variation Gligo introduced. The win by Fischer is quite good. The games were 90 minutes/40 I believe. |

| Helios727: So why did the Fischer-Gligoric match of 1979 not take place? |
|

| AnalyzeThis: Beats me. For a million dollars, you'd think that Fischer would come out of retirement and slap Gligoric around. The Russians wouldn't be involved, it would just be easy money. |

| Helios727: More importantly, you would think that for 1/3 of $5 mil, any non Soviet player would love to play Fischer on any terms even if they lost every game in the process. |

Excellent; thanks! Gligo one of my modern favorites. I agree he should be studied more, especially by 1. d4 players - he played those openings as well as anyone, ever. |

| ray keene: <parisattack> i havent seen the fischer v gligoric training games-do you have access to the moves-were there only three of them-they seem to be missing from all the standard anthologies of fischers complete games-i wd love to see them if you can get the moves!! |

| parisattack: Hi, Ray -
There are three in the De Lucia book - but the 50 page bio at the end of the book lists more of them. I hesitate to post them on a public board because of copyright issues. I meant to ask Mr De Lucia about this issue; will do so with an email tonight to him. Is your email still active? |
|

|
| ray keene: re fischer games-yes my email still functions-as before-if mr de lucia can send me all the games ( if there are more than three it wd be great) i will write a big series of features in the times and i will gladly promote his book there if he can give me the details. my times column is read more widely than any other chess column in the uk and also very widely read globally on the times website-any help you can offer deeply appreciated!! |

| parisattack: Hi, Ray -
I will let him know!
There is a brief review of the book on my forum a few pages back... |
|
Oct-28-09
|
| ray keene: is there a direct link to your review-i am of course interested in any fischer games mentioned anywhere which are not already to be found in the standard anthologies as to fischer v spassky books-the hardinge simpole reprint of the golombek book also inlcudes white knights by prof geroge steiner as well -of course-as the essay by arthur koestler where fischer is famously described as a "mimofant!!" |

| parisattack: Here is the link to the De Lucia review:

I tested it, appears to work. If not just type in Page '3' on my forum. |

|
| ray keene: sorry typo alert-previous post should of course have read prof george steiner! |
|

| Henrik Lindberg: I do think there is a huge general interest in some unknown games between Gligoric and Fischer from 1972. Please publish them as soon as possible at this forum - or at the Times column Ray! |
|

|
| ray keene: i am desperately trying to get my hands on them but nobody has sent me anything yet!! |

| TheFocus: <Ray Keene> How about I post the e-mail address for David De Lucia, which he provides in Fischer Uncensored, to you? Then you can e-mail him directly. With your influence, I am sure you may be able to convince him to publish all the Fischer - Gligoric games. I believe there are six or more. He also has four previously unknown games from the 1964 simultaneous tour. I also have four more simul games from 1964, available on the Internet, and one more that was printed in the last issue of Chess Life. None of those appear in any anthologies. |

| ray keene: yes pls do i wd be very grateful and i am sure i cd give him stacks of publicity in the times-also if you wd care to send me any fischer games you have i wd be only too delighted to give you any credit you wished- my emailaddress to which such games can be sent is
rdkobe@aol.com
thanks very much |

| Oct-30-09 |
| TheFocus: <ray keene> Thank you. I will provide the games I have that are not in Fischer Uncensored. The Gligoric games and the four simultaneous games in Fischer Uncensored I will leave for De Lucia to release to you. Look for my e-mail by Monday. I will include DeLucia's e-mail address there also instead of posting it here in a public forum. I will of course tell Mr. DeLucia in my e-mail to him that I am sharing it with you. |
