Play online chess |  Subject: What Chess Book ?!
Message:
My Question here is; IF you could have a Chess Book (or two or three, even) written, that has not been ... What would it/they be Called or About?
2) Do you prefer reading Chess Books, Online Articles, or a D-Base type format?
[ Or E-Mail Books of Text vs File Downloads perhaps]

Play online chess | How about....
Message:
"The Philospher's Stone"?
It would give the answer to all the ages old secrets, and the secret solution to chess would be but a small part of it....
Or, Perhaps a modern day extention of "The Magus" by Francis Barrett?
Or, more seriously, a book explaining the concept of "chunking" as mentioned in Dr. Hans J Berliner's book "The System". That would be a big help! Outside of "chunking" I found Dr Berliners book to be quite enlightening!

When Bobby Fischer Played Chess Like Misha Tal — Reckless sacrifices were not his style, but for one day, one game and one moment in 1959 Bobby Fischer threw caution to the wind, went va banque and played like Mikhail Tal. His opponent was the Czech grandmaster Ludek Pachman and the game was played in Santiago de Chile. Tal mesmerized his opponents with a demonic look, quick mind and unsurpassed imagination. Sometimes his combinations were wrong, but it was always fun to watch him find his way through turbulent complications he created on the chess board. In 1956, Tal and Fischer slowly lifted their chess careers and began to fly. Bobby created his "game of the century" against Donald Byrne. Tal won the first seven games at the Student chess olympiad in ...

I actually don't know if there are any books on this subject, but I doubt it, so I think that a book on this matter would be very readable and quite welcomed. Also while we're on chess variants, I would like to see an opening index and attack strategy book for bughouse chess. I just don't understand why this isn't more popular, as the games resulting are far more exciting than those from casual chess.

Chess: Cheeky opening play — The bold Armenian Levon Aronian is one to watch out for at the London Chess Classic, as this unusual game shows. The third London Chess Classic begins this weekend at Kensington Olympia. The world no 1 Magnus Carlsen is the favourite, but in such a short tournament, and with the soccer scoring system, there could be an upset. Watch out for the Armenian Levon Aronian. Off the board he's laid back, on the board he is often bold and original. Here, in a standard Queen's Gambit position, instead of developing his king's bishop and castling, Aronian has advanced his kingside pawns. How would you respond with Black? RB: Outrageous! To advance the kingside pawns so early in the game ...
