<Good evening.>

I am JFQ extra account for "storing things in".

<MannBee>

Good morning.

I will be very happy to store your changes here!

I don't know why your computer needs a log, but we have a lot of room here for all the timber you might want to stack up.

There's only a small large "fee" for this free service.

August and Friedrich Schlegel ran the journal <Atheneum>, which helped establish the tradition of German Romanticism.

It became one of the shining intellectual lights at the turn of the 19th century.

A high bar for our <Chess Corner>, if it gets launched!

I will beware of thieves, thank you! I could best accomplish this if you and other esteemed colleagues published your credit card information here "for safekeeping."

For example, I want to know in few words, or sentences, of what legacy many of the great and not-so-well-known chess players have left or will leave at the end of their career or life. It would be great to know what different people think about players from different perspectives of knowledgeable followers of the game and would be even more awesome to compile such literature and research on that, so that throughout the chess history, we can read through some interesting anecdotes and facts about the players.

Take Anand for example, everyone knows he was lightning kid. But when we look back at his career now, what exactly defines his playing style? Is it that he's strong in opening preparation and theory? very good in calculation and understanding of positions? But, did he turn into a solid positional player with too much caution in experimenting little deviations from the safest line that he was not comfortable in handling the playing style of few very strong players like Kasparov and Carlsen?

It interests me to know about such for every player and review about players as I play through their games. It might not be the chess history of concrete facts that you specialize in and it would be very subjective but I would like to see what some interesting members of this site think about the players, at least their favorites and those they have analyzed in depth.

Wouldn't it be a great idea to compile such thoughts in a book form? Kind of a storage of little tidbits about players that I could relate to a player when I see his or her name.

Without such knowledge, I struggle to relate to players that I have no idea about, I even confuse often between Rubenstein and Bronstein, I have to read about a little every time to refresh my mind about the players I have very little information about.

If you've come across any such book or article similar to this, please let me know.

*****

I hope and wish your safe keeping business flourish and multiply :)

On the possibility that we get our <chess corner>, I agree whole heartedly with this:

<It would be great to know what different people think about players from different perspectives of knowledgeable followers of the game and would be even more awesome to compile such literature and research on that, so that throughout the chess history, we can read through some interesting anecdotes and facts about the players.>

Also, on Akiba Rubinstein vs David Bronstein , I can't think of two players with more contrasting personalities or playing styles.

I wrote the bio on <Bronstein>, and User: karpova wrote the superb bio on <Rubinstein>.

In my opinion, her biography deserves to be published in print as a monograph. She does an excellent job of bringing this most fascinating man to life, whilst weeding out the hoary fake stories about this most enigmatic, and talented chess master.

<MannBee> Hey!

<jith1207> Also I told part of <Rubinstein's> story in this documentary about Polish Chess History:

* Phew * I thought this forum got closed and membership cancelled after trying to find this after a long time. You should think of adding a link to here from main account. :) I had to go to my profile and click on more kibbutzes to find this after a bit of archaeological efforts.

Thank you, <JFQ>, I did read both bios that were well written and helpful. Really appreciate all your and other editors' works here, didn't expect the Latvian big head child page bio to boom like that, from a very simple beginning. I guess that's what happens when <herny> gets into it.

I didn't really realize that <Karpova> is not commenting here anymore, I have been reading the works of her here a lot without noticing they were all written years before. I hope she's doing alright.

Next, I need to remember <Latvia> is different from <Lithuania> ;)
