    Yes, i wish I could have done more books, but the computer databases took over and publishers lost interest in the chess books.  I wanted to take advantage of my extensive chess library, especially chess magazines, and add games of average players as well as the masters that the databases ignored.  I could easily do 500 minis in almost any opening or accumulate unorthodox opening games, and with chess engines, can now annotate almost any move, especially tactical moves full of sacs and combinations.  So, from time to time, I will collect 100 more miniatures from some source and add them here.

    great :) i'm a huge fan of your books mr wall :) i think i have almost all of them ... a great way to learn and refresh one's memory of various openings and the short term pitfalls that face us all :)

    added -- well i still prefer to have a chess board and a book to work with rather than computer ... tho of course like most players i think a computer is a necessity of sorts ... it's a shame since i find it easier to use your books rather than a database ... but at least you know there's one person still using them ;) lol ... thanks again for all your work :)
