| Jul-18-04 | | Dudley: This guy writes some great chess books. I have Beating the Anti Sicilians and Starting out-King's Indian. |
|
| Dec-16-04 | | EnglishOpeningc4: He also wrote a horrible book on the Caro Kann from white's(!!!) point of view. |
|
| Jan-25-05 | | GBKnight: Strong English former amateur player who worked hard to become a professional, a late starter compared to most GMs. Now living in Switzerland but still plays in the British Championship sometimes, winning the title in 2001. Always an expert on the Kings Indian, even in his younger days - I remember losing horribly to him on the white side of that opening back in about 1981. |

 | | cu8sfan: He's a great writer of chess books. As soon as Wijk aan Zee is over I plan to devote more time to the biography feature. |
|
Jul-18-05
 | | cu8sfan: Congratulations to Joe Gallagher for winning the Swiss Championship - again! As soon as I have some more time I will submit the games. You can find more details (in German) here: http://schachbund.ch/turniere/sem.php. |
|
| Aug-21-05 | | Greginctw: his starting out book on the caro kann was pretty bad. Very unhelpful and useless. If anyone wants to know what I specifically disliked ill be glad to mention it. Ive heard great things about his books, but I would definately stear clear of "Starting Out: The Caro-Kann". |
|
| Aug-21-05 | | stijn: Tell us. |
|
| Aug-21-05 | | WMD: 1. e4 c6? White wins. |
|
| Aug-21-05 | | Hesam7: <WMD> very funny =)) |
|
| Aug-21-05 | | notyetagm: Gallgher not a Caro-Kann player, Najdorf fanatic. |
|

 | | cu8sfan: <Gallagher not a Caro-Kann player, Najdorf fanatic.> He can still write a book about it, I'm sure he's had to face it enough times. (-; |
|
| Aug-21-05 | | Speed Zamboni Driver: Is he a backgammon writer too? I think I have a backgammon book "One Hundred Puzzled" by a Gallagher. |
|
| Aug-21-05 | | wheelchiar bandit: kings gambit forever!! |
|
| Aug-21-05 | | Kings Indian: I like his Starting Out: the King's Indian and his book on the Pirc. |
|
| Dec-08-05 | | Pengutron: from his games, it looks like he won all his caro-kahn games as white. I've been trying to get a copy of his king's gambit book for a while. |
|

 | | Eric Schiller: <Pengutron> Not all of them:
J Gallagher vs E Schiller, 1985
But he did nail me in this one:
J Gallagher vs E Schiller, 1986 |
|
| Dec-08-05 | | KingG: <Eric Schiller> Well, the one he won transposed into a French, so i'm not sure if it should count. :-) By the way, what do you think of the Fantasy Variation? |
|
Dec-08-05
 | | Eric Schiller: <KingG> What French? You'll never see me on the Black side of a French, except for one game in 1995, where I expected my opponent, Vinay Bhat, to play an unsound line. He surprised me by playing a main line, so I punted, captured on e4 and eventually won the game that brought me the Cal. State Championship. My Caro-Kanns are pure, except that I sometimes capture on d5 with the queen, switching to Scandinavian territory. |
|
Dec-08-05
 | | Eric Schiller: <KingG> I am totally unimpressed by the Fantasy Variation. Black gets a nice game easily, for example:K Klaman vs Kholmov, 1949 |
|
| Dec-08-05 | | KingG: <Eric Schiller> Sorry about that, i didn't notice that the Knight wasn't on c3, so i though it had transposed into the Steinitz Variation of the Classical French. In the example you give, White's opening play isn't very impressive, i think 6.c3 would have been better. eg Morozevich vs Bareev, 2004 |
|
| Apr-03-06 | | notyetagm: Anyone know what books/videos GM Gallagher is working on right now? I believe he has Starting Out: The Najdorf from Everyman due out very soon. |
|
| Apr-03-06 | | wallytherhino: What does the Caro-kann offer over the scandinavian? |
|
| Apr-03-06 | | notyetagm: If you play the Caro, you have to be prepared to face the Panov-Botvinnik Attack. No such things against the Scandinavian. |
|
Apr-03-06
 | | IMlday: 1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.exd5 Qxd5 avoids Panov-Botvinnik by transposing to a Scandinavian. But why learn 3.e5 lines when 1.e4 d5 avoids them? |
|
| Apr-03-06 | | Zebra: I have been trying to get hold of a copy of Gallagher's book on the Kings Gambit. Any ideas (or opinions on the book) would be interesting. |
