Christmas Re-Gifting!

I was going through my bookshelf and noticed something odd. 

First, I did not receive the new 4th edition of Silman's Reassess Your Chess for Christmas.  Actually, that was noticed in bags, not my bookshelf.

Second, I noticed that I possess two copies of the 3rd edition. (http://www.amazon.com/How-Reassess-Your-Chess-Chess-Mastery/dp/1890085006)

Which leads me to this.  I have friends who might like to have a copy to study!  So, fellow Maniacs.  Who wants it (free)?  I may have to come up with some kind of contest, I suppose, if there are more than one of you...

I've given it to the Chess.com/TV group to use as a prize.

If you haven't watched chess.com tv shows, they're fun and educational (and on-demand after they air).  Some are free, others are "premium only" etc.  Anyhow, a good group to join if you want to keep tabs on such things and hear from several of the pros that contribute to this site.

It sooo strange that you mention that group exactly.  It just so happened that I was looking at it, trying to figure out exactly what so was attractive about it in that they didn't do team matches or vote chess.  Based on my curiousity and now your recommendation, I'll apply to join that group.

They're primarily built around the "TV" shows that air on chess.com. I joined so I'd be kept up to date on programming changes, etc. It's also a way to be able to communicate with the various show hosts and such. I expect the group itself will grow to have some discussion and whatnot...though right now it's primarily the group admins ressponding to all the suggestions/comments/etc.
