Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Terry, (and anyone following this conversation)
Yes, he would likely win.
The best measure of how great a player was however, was how much better (s)he
was compared to the other best players of the time.  Kasparov himself admited
that in this regard, Fischer is better than he is.  He even went so far as to
say that Fischer's raw talent and dedication to studying was greater than he
was, and had they been born with the same information (ie. the same time
period) that Fischer likely would have been a better player than Kasparov.
Someone may have already mentioned this, but I've been gone and seem to have
had some mail problems...

Adrien.

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Bruce,
Can't say I agree with this approach - you acquire much more by working
hings
out otb, plus, you're more likely to remember variations that you toiled over
otb.  A better approach is to buy a general book on openings (BCO or MCO for
example), try to calculate everything otb, then go home, look at the book,
ee
where you went wrong, and try to understand WHY your move isn't the best.
Most chess teachers and strong players agree that opening books of specific
variations aren't needed until you get to a master strength, and even then
that
the books which emphasize variations are worthless compared to those which
explain the ideas (unless you're only in chess for $, not a good career
hoice
by any stretch of the imagination, even for most GM's).  Please don't take
offense to my message here, it's just my (humble) opinion.

Adrien.

That's not all that bad!  Do you use the "landscape" orientation then?
What text editor are you using to do all of this?  How do you arrange the

The media coverage of chess in Alberta is just about nil :(

Yes, there seems to be too many (crappy) opening books.  I think that a book
on
an opening should explain the ideas and strategies, these kind are good
ooks.
The ones which just list MANY MANY MANY variations are essentially garbage in
my opinion.  I too really enjoy books on players, especially the anecdotes,
the
stories, etc...  The thing I like most about tournament books are that there
are a few which are WELL annotated and a pleasure to read.  I recently bought
a LOT of chess books at the Canadian Open, one of which is "The Sorcerer's
Apprentice" by Bronstein.  I can't give enough praise for this book, it's a
real gem!

The North Bay Open and Canadian Open are different.  North Bay Open stays in
one spot, whereas the Canadian Open moves from city to city.
Good luck in the Quebec Open!
I'm trying to get this letter out quick, so I won't go into detail on the
