FROM THE BOOKSHELF:
Q. I have a ten year old son who needs some kind of chess opening organization. What kind of books should I get him for attack and defense?
A. THE BEST i HAVE EVER SEEN is the fantastic work by top writer/grandmaster ANDREW SOLTIS…for the white chess pieces “WINNING WITH 1.E4!”…for black pieces “A COMPLETE DEFENSE FOR THE REST OF YOUR CAREER” … BOTH BOOKS are miniature masterpiece monographs that delight children, build confidence and get one organized like a hurricane at the chess board…. both all time classic books are still available online and in old bookstores… THE CHESSLAB HAUNTING ECHO..FISCHER ON us chess immortal RESHEVSKY (1911-1992): “He sees more variations than anyone ever..but he is just playing so much below his real strength right now” (Acers interview, LSU Student Center, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, March 1964 )
