Decade you just said it study your own games and playing and staying thirsty. You dont get to there leve by thinking like a student. Your pockets get lighter their pockets get heavier. Your game never overcomes theirs and the balance in the universe remains the same. Guess what everybody else is reading the same books so who is getting fooled. While the Grandmaster creates new ideas or twist of it. He remains on top while well the chess universe remains the way they like it.
Lets go ask any GM on this site what they think about buying chess books is a BIG HUSTLE and watch how nervous they get. I double dare you.
So, why are you not a GM or an IM then ?
Thanks for the advice Bob :)
