Feb-04-09 T Hillarp Persson vs So, 2009
| |
| seaotter: I was sans Engine, so Bc7 was at least a bolt from the heaven for me,... because I saw the follow-up immediately as I had been wondering How can Hillarp keep his King in the center like this and not pay for it? As I said, I hope the kid gets a really good sponsor. |

Jan-19-09 Aron Nimzowitsch
| |
| seaotter: He won Karlsbad 1929 and was at his peak for about 3 years after,... I have actually read a great deal of his book (before you comment, make sure you have), it is difficult. But what really struck me was a combo I found in an Edward Lasker book,... Modern Chess Strategy, Dover ... |
