Was going to suggest you leave the book titles up as it was interesting. I mean, the Jeremy Morse problems book was the only one vaguely of any interest (do people really still use openings books?).

Is the Jeremy Morse book any good?

I'll be honest, I only ever really thumbed it, I picked it up in a second hand book-shop many years ago. I mainly got it because I am a fan of the Inspector Morse novels and I knew Colin Dexter had taken the name from his friend Jeremy - Chess problems are not really my thing though.

Agreed, hence a large clear out, I haven't touched any of these in years. I'm sure some people will still find a use for them, but chess video courses have evolved so much in the last 10 years that books are getting towards obsolete.

Plenty of people still prefer books, and not just us oldies either.

Yeah, I'm sure they do

Personally I always found them hard work - I would sit down with a board and pieces, attempt to analyse all the variations and sub variations, but an hour in, I would realise I was bored to tears and hadn't taken any of it in anyway - I fear that is my skill level as opposed to the books fault though and probably explains why I never got above 140. Just prefer video courses myself, not that a do a great deal of study these days, I only play the odd club match.
