hello everybody ..
I'm really really interested of Larry Christiansen games ,how does he play, how does he attackin his OPP., about his ATTACKING tactics , and surely about his championship against the computer (chessmaster 9000). I wanna a website which talkin about him and how did he played with explainings of course
if there's nothing about him .no problem what about Josh Waitzkin I prefer 'em he is my best chess player I had A C.D for him but it's lost :-(
ok anyway please Reply me with a good website .
& thanks for all :-))))

1)Check out www.google.com, it's a good website.
2)For Christiansen, check out Storming the Barricades and Rocking the Ramparts.
For Waitzkin, check out Chessmaster Grandmaster Edition and his book the Art of Learning.
is there another website ?

Yes, Larry has written some fine books, as mentioned above. You can also at Chesscafé.com in the "Skittles room" find some articles from him commenting on different games. And then there is the ICC, where they have stored some games commented by him

You can also probably play him in a simul at ICC, if he's still doing that.

That's a good question, Maradonna. Lisalin, have you figured out a way to make money when you post?

I've always found Christiansen's style fascinating...maybe because (even though he's a GM) he's an even bigger maniac than me! I had a friend who once survived a car ride with him too (so he's apparently a maniac at more than chess).
And I'm reminded of a game I saw from the late 70s...it was probably the American Open or something, and Christiansen (who I think had just gotten his GM title) was playing DeFirmian (who was still in the 2300s...poor guy). Nick had been winning the whole time, and it came down to a pawn ending. At some crucial point, Larry was able to pull off some incredible swindle. I still remember DeFirmian twirling the clock up into the air (in his frustration)...then catching it. They were sort of local rivals if I remember right (LC from Bakersfield and NDF from Fresno).

He still does the simuls. Usuallly ICC. I have played him and it is great! Keeping looking until you find site he plays at. Generally, ICC. Playing one game against him is worth the price of membership.
Also, chessgames.com has his list of favorite attacking games.
