Hitting the Books
Even in today's software-centric chess world, players are obsessed with books. Publishers must have some reason for cranking out tome after mediocre tome, right? To do my part to separate the wheat from the chaff, this week I'm creating a chess product category here. I'll post about a book or program that caught my attention for being particularly good or horrible and we'll let the court of public opinion sit in judgment. Please also suggest items you have a strong opinion about or that you'd like to hear about.
I do work for ChessBase, London Chess Centre, and ChessCafe.com, so I think my conflicts of interest cancel out.
[Warning to any unscrupulous publisher who would try to buy my opinion with cash and free stuff: Dollars only please.]
