 | | Eric Schiller: Well, I finally returned to competition after a year off to recover from my stroke. I expected to be off-form with huge holes in my openings, but in fact I played well in the CalChess Championship, with a performance over 2300. Somehow the oopenings followed my preparation, and I didn't miss any big tactics. DeGuzman is always a tough opponent for me, as he makes few weaknesses and knows how to exploit an advantage. The most interesting game was the one against 9-year old Nicky Nip, our local superstar kid who may yet become the youngest US Master ever. He showed good maturity in the game. My demolition of Nicholas Yap was somewhat routine but I did need to find a couple of good moves (Qg4!, Rf6!). All in all a much better performance thanI expected, and i earned my sushi with some good moves (the tournament is held in one of SF's best dining districts with dozens of cuisines within walking distance.) I'll be playing in the SF Masters at the end of the month, but will have to pass up Reno as we have two local events: the Hip-Hop Chess competition featuring top rappers and the Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival with its huge chess lot. Still, it's good to be back! |

| Sep-08-07 | | timhortons: best of luck eric....i just had a copy of youre book "learn from bobby fischers greatest game" |
|
| Sep-08-07 | | D4n: Mr. Schiller, which one of your books would you suggest the most? (As far as the strongest openings and etc.) |
|
Sep-08-07
| | Eric Schiller: <D4n> Hard to say, though my best opening books are the Complete Defense to King Pawn, the Queen Pawn volume and Hypermodern Opening Repertoire. They come closest to my idea of what an opening book should be. The best sellers are Encyclopedia of Chess Wisdom and World Champion Openings, and the one I use most for teaching is Development of a Chess Master. I'm concentrating on video now and will have more DVDs out later this year. |

| Sep-11-07 | | gus inn: <Eric> Kudos on your fine comeback.So I see very well that you owned your suhsi(s) !
It sounds quite simular to when I used to go to France , each year.And everytime was a bit worried about if i could handle the lanquage as I used to.And such a relief that everytime the answer was : Yes !
So I wish you many good games to come ! |
|
Sep-11-07
| | Eric Schiller: <gus inn>Thanks for the kind words. I won't be playing again until the end of the month, will just watch some Mexico City games when I can. I'm very busy with teaching and my work as press officer and webmaster for Americaforgore.org, which launches this week, probably later today. That's going to take up my spare time for a while. |

| Sep-13-07 | | danielpi: <Eric Schiller><Well, lets me pay more attention to my work at AFG: www.americaforgore.com.>; I take it you're involved in some sort of "Draft Gore" movement? Best of luck to you. I interned for Hillary, and I was my Senate District coordinator for the Kerry campaign. I'm actually not volunteering or giving any money to the other candidates until I know for sure that Gore won't make a run for it. But, I've got a pretty strong feeling that he's not coming to the shindig this time 'round. Again, though, my best wishes to your effort. Gore is easily the best man for the job- at least, so far as I can see. |

| Sep-15-07 | | King mega: <Eric Schiller:My demolition of Nicholas Yap was somewhat routine but I did need to find a couple of good moves (Qg4!, Rf6!).> Isnt nicholas Yap the Malaysian Chess player?
i got 3 questions to ask. Firstly,I bought your world champion tactics book and I had a problem. It seems that the game Steinitz vs De vere, Its move isnt complete. Help me please! Secondly, Do you have an analysis about the milner-barry gambit, from french defense? thirdly, what is the difference between (Encyclopedia of Chess Wisdom and World Champion Openings) and the ECO book? |

| | Eric Schiller: <danielpi> It isn't proper for me to use this site for politics, so I just offered the link to www.americaforgore.org for those who are interested in what I am up to. I blog at www.dailykos.com on politics as MakeChessNotWar. Hikaru Nakmura's brother is one of their most prominent and respected bloggers. It is nice to see a World Championship event without any political animosities. For most of my chess life, starting with Fischer and then Kasparov, it was never without political drama. |

| | Eric Schiller: <KingMega> First, my new book on the Milner-Barry is in production and should be out early next year. I've been teaching my students to play it. Black can defend by following Watson, but the position is dynamically balanced and i have some new ideas that convince silicon, though whether they are any good remains to be seen. On Steinitz-DeVere, there were some printing errors in that first edition, corrected in "Killer Chess Tactics". But the moves here are correct: Steinitz vs De Vere, 1867 "Wisdom" isn't an opening book, it contains tips on all aspects of the game. World Champion Openings displays the openings as played by World Champions, it is not an encyclopedic work like ECO. WCO, like my other big books on the opening, are browsers where you can get a feel for the lines, not a reference work. IMHO, the opening information in Chess Assistant is far better than any ECO, and a better research tool with Rybka 2.3 riding shotgun. Powerful stuff! But they can't explain the ideas. That's what I try to do. |

| Sep-16-07 | | danielpi: <ES><It isn't proper for me to use this site for politics, so I just offered the link to www.americaforgore.org for those who are interested in what I am up to.> Well, given those links, it's pretty clear which side of the national polemic you favor. You're obviously more disciplined about off-topic posts than I, though, so I won't try to goad you into a more detailed description of your political work. Once again, however, I salute your efforts. Best wishes. |

 | | plang: <www.americaforgore.org> Well, for my tastes, there is too much gore already; particularly in the movies but, of course, I have a choice; I don't have to watch. |

| Sep-19-07 | | RonB52734: <Eric> I tell a story on my forum about reading and using your book on the Dilworth attack. I've posted my game, which ended in a draw (good for me, as black playing up about 100 points). I notice that the book was edited by Thomas P Magar, who is of course an acquaintance of anyone here in Pittsburgh. I'd be delighted if you'd review the Dilworth attack game I've posted and also if you'd tell me if you have any ties to Pittsburgh. Regards. |
|
| Sep-20-07 | | RonB52734: <Eric> Thank you kindly for the comment. 15...Rxf3+ was probably as close as I'll ever get to a Q-sac. |
|
| Sep-22-07 | | Jesspatrick: Hi Eric!
You are one of my favorite authors over the years.
I have your monograph on the Cambridge Springs defense from when? 1987? That book stands today as an excellent treatment of the subject. I also have your "How to play the Kings Indian Attack", plus a few other books you co-edited. |

| Dec-03-07 | | pazzed paun: HI Eric! It seems you and GM Keene did a book called how to succeed in the Queen pawn openings but I cannot find any info on it. Does it favor White over Black? Is it based on the games of one or two famous Q pawn players? How well are your students doing with the suggested lines?
Thanks! |

| Dec-31-07 | | brankat: Hi Eric! Just dropped by to wish You a very Happy and successful New Year. Cheers my friend! |

| | Eric Schiller: <brankat> Thanks! I'm still recovering from my match with Nicky Nip (I lost 4-2), and hope for a better 2008. |
|
| Jan-01-08 | | brankat: Eric, a question. Will You be in Gibraltar again this year? Thank You. |
|
Jan-01-08
| | Eric Schiller: <brankat> No, unfortunately I won't be. My next trip will be to London for the Staunton in August. |
