parisattack: Another of the Old Guard departs; and a fine gentleman he was, indeed! Dispensation of his collection will be interesting. I assume he made plans for it, of course.

| |
|
parisattack: GM Radjabov having a tough year. Slumps are no fun - I've been in one since about six months after I learned to play in 1966! We'll hope he is 'consolidating' to move higher.

parisattack: <Gypsy - <Modern Chess Theory> This is a 4-volume, encyclopedic opening manual; significant work, though I am not clear whether it was ever translated from Czech.> Wonderful set of books! They and MCO 10 were the 'bibles' of opening theory before the British Invasion

| |
|
parisattack: <Maxi... So it seems that Fine was wrong, and Black's position was OK. The culprit was 14...f6.> Thanks for digging so deep for us!

parisattack: Played the Bird in very modern fashion. Several of his games featured in Robinson's book, 1. P-KB4. (To date, still the best tome on Bird's Opening, IMHO.)

parisattack: If not the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, it is at least the renaissance of Repertoire books! The latest is 'The Dark Knight System - a repertoire with 1. ...Nc6' by James Schuyler, Everyman Press 2013. There are now five books on just the 1. ...Nc6 repertoire: Berdichevsky - ...

parisattack: Probably too late to add the Carlsen and Kramnik wins to the new book on Ivanchuk due out this summer - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/90...

| |
|
parisattack: Tough way for K3 to lose...he played some awesome chess, really started to see the fighting spirit in him again. Conversely, I thought Carlsen played the openings in a very lackadaisical manner. But all said, I think a Anand-Carlsen match will be more interesting from a ...
