  • The Wildest Game

    • Influential Chess Books

      We had a pretty cool discussion at chess club tonight about chess books.  A rapidly improving young player (very strong tactician, the rest of his game will catch up eventually if he's anything like I was...) was asking about which chess books ar... | Read More
