Hi Alan,

They have a 'Book Review' section here. Nobody can complain if this was posted there.

viewforum.php?f=49

Think Kasparov could have got all this one book. 12 chapters with his opinion on each player. no games.
We did not need the games, they are all famous enough for any interested reader to find them easily enough.
Kasparov's Fritz backed up analysis is OK, but I've always preferred, if you can, the actual players thoughts and notes.
I've never been fond of people running computers over ancient classics and printing 'their' findings.

It's like going down the wine cellar, dusting off a bottle of Cheval Blanc,
open it, pour it down the drain, fill it up with plonk and relabel it 'corked.'
only argentinian wine is any good like footballers.

John John Mjm some people are actually interested in chess not your dribblings why isnt carl acting to stop your naked bullying.
John Upham is a bit of a wind up merchant but I am not classifying it as bullying no.

Some of your posts make little sense Alan that is more what it is.
