We're not talking about pressed meat. You offer writing services, but cannot write. Think of how healthy Americans could be if purveyors of fast food were as honest in their advertising!

OK your problem is my writing? i think we have some problem with that issue. i don't write chess book. i only research method to use. it does mean combining stuff from one book to another so the study would be more easy to understand. i am not saying that i will write whole book. 

 

example. in lesson 1 there are oppening, middle game and end game lessons. so there is no such "confuse - decision" where to start.

 

that is the idea of personalized book. knowing their strength and skills then the book will be based on that.

 

than you for your concern sir. i know your worry. thank you so much. i appreciated it.

Ziryab

That's called plagiarism.

kavitenyo

called what?? i will get idea from book. not the book itself. besides we will analize the game of player then connecting it to other games. what palgiarism there. sir if you don't like the style i am doing just see it positive to help other. thank you

kavitenyo

i believe sir, that palgiarism is using the part of book with out citing it.

Either you do the writing, which calls for skills you lack. Or, you plagiarize. Either way, you are offering a service that you should pay others to use.

I have found that practicing tactics is very valuable. Books on tactics are great as well as using the Tactics Trainer. I use the TT on Chesstempo.com rather than on this site. Also going over games using solitaire chess is helpful. Also don't forget to go over your games using the analysis engine on this site. If you can afford a coach that is the best thing but otherwise it is indeed smart to use the features on this site and other websites to improve your game.

The videos on this site are usually terrific- especially Daniel Rensch's. I am infinitely grateful to all the masters that have taken time to make these videos for us but the audio is pretty sad in a lot of them.

Are words used to describe the puzzles, games and openings you are assembling? If so, are they your own words or those of another person? If the latter, and you present them as your own, that is plagiarism.

If you acknowledge the source of the quotes and they are not extensive, it would be okay - probably, as long as you aren't selling the assembled product. But if you do not acknowledge and/or there are large chunks copied, you are running foul of copyright.

(And don't tell me that if Raymond Keene does it, it must be okay, right?)

you are right if i own it. but if i do citing the name and book, will be called palgiarism? i will never own any book.

Maybe the problem stems from your description of the "books" you are offering? Copying from a book and citing it correctly may not be plagiarism, but it may be copyright infringement.

Well, I'm going to try to get us back on track with the OP's original question.

If descriptive notation is OK, then how about Pachman's Modern Chess Strategy? It's a single-volume, condensed version of Pachman's three-volume Complete Chess Strategy.

Another idea, but out of print, is Horowitz and Mott-Smith's Point Count Chess, also in descriptive notation. (Just study the examples and ignore the point count system, which is bogus.)

These two books will probably be easier to get through than My System or Pawn Power in Chess.

i think sir, u understand it in wrong perception. i am saying personalized book. it does mean lesson to use for the student. if someone will give me lost game the we will analize then, need to know improve, games to study, puzzle openning. 

is there a problem with that sir?

Ziryab

I have no idea what you are saying. But, I certainly don't want anyone to analize the lost boys or lost games, or whomever you intend to analize. I will remind you that there are young people who use this site. Try to keep your language appropriate.

what we should analize the won games? for what? we should analize the lost games to improve and not to repeat the blunder.. lost gamesis the step for victory. if you avoid analizing your lost games, you will never learn from it.

Ziryab

I analyze games. I never analize. Perhaps you need to write your pitch in Tagalog and hire someone to translate it into English. But you certainly need to change your advertising methods. You are spamming forums with nonsense.

i know it is anayze. i just type it faster. that is why,. ok i will change the way i offer. if you want sir, let do some friendly game.
