| My favourite player is Anatoly Karpov. I got a copy of his best games when I was just starting out and it has remained my model for chess play ever since. I also like Kasparov, and the brilliancies of Alekhine and Tal, but positional play remains the most appealing to me! Proud to post according to <the way of the wood> as first identified by <<JFQ>> "I offer this-
<The Way of the Wood> cannot be understood through <the love of logic and reason>.
<The Way of the Wood> cannot be judged by normal discursive parameters.
<The Way of the Wood> is mysterious... comic, yet tragic... true, yet false... profound, yet silly...
I invite all to take a more studied approach to understanding <The Way of the Wood>" I would like to thank the following for their help with chess analysis and generally making CG a great place to hang out!
