Sep-16-06 | | Knight13: A new book came out of this guy.... Copyrighted 2005. It's called "Chess Self-Improvement." It presents 50 games that has parts to let you guess which move is the best, and earn points or lose points to determine your strengh. So it's basicly a training book, or some of you might call it the QUIZ book. |

Nov-30-07 | | Phoenix: "Chess Self-Improvement" is a great book, in fact. I highly recommend it. |

Oct-23-12 | | Abdel Irada: I wonder whether there's any etymological relationship between this player's first name and the ancient Greek /xenos/, meaning "strange," "foreign" or "unknown." If there is, his opponents may think he's a real gas ... unless they suffer from Zenophobia. |
|
Oct-23-12 | | blitzpatzer: Zenon = "Living" |
|
Oct-23-12 | | Abdel Irada: Hmm. Then I wonder if any of his opponents suffer from fear of living. ;-) |
