IMHO, after reading books like "Logical Chess, Move By Move" (which really 
is an ideal beginner's book), that new players should go for game collections
such as Morphy's Best Games, or get into a book on the history of modern
chess that discusses the great players who laid a foundation for the game.
Getting a handle on the different ideas that can be brought to bear against
an opponent can open up a beginning player's approach to the game.

Personally, I prefer a collection of games played by one person and 
annotated by that person rather than annotations by someone trying to 
guess what the intentions of the players were.  Alekin's two volume
anthology is vastly entertaining as well as instructive. 

To the beginner, I would suggest that if you don't understand an explanation
given after a move, don't worry about it too much. Keep going. The most
under-utilized learning tool is *re-reading* the book!

A few years ago, I wrote a column for a chess club. I asked about obtaining
scoresheets from the director of the club.  I believe she said that technically,
the scoresheets were the property of the chess club. This would make sense 
since the scoresheets are used to settle disputes over positions and numbers
of moves in a time control. BTW, the director of the club was Pearl Mann, who
was an international arbiter and quite active in the USCF.

Dear Chess players:

I am after some *good* books on Chess and I would appreciate your
recommendations of such books.  I am interested in books on openings,
middlegame, endgame, combination play, attack and defense (I guess that
about covers it).  At this stage I am not interested in books concentrating
on a particluar opening/endgame system.

Would you please email your helpful recommendations as I am not a regular
news reader.

If there is suffeciant interest I will compile all the recommendations and
post in a month or so - giving people enough time to respond.

Thanks in advance.

Hanif.

Subject: A New Book on King's Gambit
Organization: University of Helsinki
Date: Tue, 5 Jan 1993 00:01:55 GMT

Sometime ago there was some discussion of King's Gambit books. I went to
book store today and I found Joe Gallagher's Winning with the King's
Gambit (Batsford 1992). I was not able to resist the temptation.

I've just a brief look at it but it seems quite good. It's a repertoire
book but in many cases there are more than one line presented. However
only King's Knight Gambit is discussed. There are also chapters of
Falkbeer Counter-Gambit, Nimzowitch Counter-Gambit and Classical Defence
(2. ... Bc5). There are also one game of 2. ... Nf6 and of 2. ... Qh4+.
Agains 3. ... g5 Gallagher gives Kieseritzky Gambit.

Variations are analyzed deeply enough. Actually I have a feeling there are
more variations than in Korchnoi-Zak. Complete games help to give better
understanding of the opening. The analysis of the games is very
readable: reader is not overwhelmed by endless variations but the ideas
behind moves are explained.

Joe Gallagher is a British GM. Nigel Short wrote in the Daily
Telegraph:"This romantic opening is a real rarity at top-level chess.
Probably the greatest expert on this line right now is England's
Grandmaster Joe Gallagher".

"One of the advantages of the King's Gambit over other, more mundane,
openings, is that even when you lose it can occasionally be enjoyable."

Ahh... feels good talking about _chess_ again.

1. e4 b6 2. d4 Ba6...

One of my first instincts is simply 3. Be2.  What is black trying to

Sounds like you're talking about Nimzowitch's line: 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6
3. Nf3 b6 4. g3 Ba6!?  

Interesting lines follow.  I know a master who employs this line as black
chiefly to avoid the early d5 pawn sac lines, where white swings his knight
around to h4, pinning the black pawn on d5, followed by a king side attack.

Qa2 15.Nb4 Qa1+ 16.Kf2 Rc8 17.e5 "with an enormous initiative"

I recommend you get Nunn's _The Complete Pirc_ (New York:
Collier/Macmillan 1989).  This is a fine general survey of the
Pirc/Modern complex; although it contains few complete games, Nunn
often continues his citations well into the middlegame. Keene and
Boterill's early-1970's _The Modern Defence_ is a good source for
ideas and annotated compete games, although it is somewhat dated (and
out-of-print; you'll have to haunt used book stores to find a copy).
There are a couple of pamphlets published in the early 1980s by a
German master named Schlenker, which I have found very useful
(although he doesn't cover either of the lines you ask about).  I can
dig up an ordering address, if you want.  I play the Modern, and the
above books, plus the Informants, are my basic reasearch library on
the opening.

i dont have my chess set around right now to look at this position so iam 
relying of blinfold chess here, but it seems to me that white can play instead
of 12.Qg4 this:

   11. fe Bg4 12. ef6 Bf3 13. fe7 Qe7 14. gf3

 and white has a Night and 2 Bishops for the queen and open g-file to play on
 and the d5 square.. any way, this is something to look at any way, i could 
 have missed something offcourse..

Summary: Doesn't buying Sahovski products violate UN sanctions?

Doesn't the buying and selling of Sahovski products like the Informant violate
the UN trade sanctions against Yugoslavia (sic)?  All of the Informants I own
indicate that they originate in Belgrade, Serbia, "Yugoslavia".

Personally, I'm moving to New in Chess.
