Philidor’s book does not offer much in terms of learning, however, the first French editions are very valuable but collectors never reveal them.

Yes, this Stauntonmaster/Chessopera troll wants to control the discussions his way only. He will only talk about what he wants to talk about and if you want something else, even if you started the thread, you are wrong per him.

Do not keep following my threads if you are not interested in learning. If you are interested in learning from me (the reason why you are my staunch follower ) then sit there, listen and learn, otherwise, go and follow other masters and learn from them or start your own thread. I never invited you to follow me, you are keen on learning from me. Do not follow me if you do not want to learn from me. Go and do something else. Simple.

This is not "your thread".

You have nothing to teach any of us, you are full of lies.

No one is "following you", we are pointing out your past history as Stauntonmaster and how you continue the practices you started with that account that got banned.

I never asked anyone to follow me or read my posts.

Dude, no one is following you. And this is certainly not your thread.

In fact you are the one posting wrong things on this thread and we are simply correcting you.

No one is following you Stauntonmaster. Just making sure people know you are a troll who used to have an account called Stauntonmaster.

Care to point out 1 lie I have posted?

You have posted several and when you get called out on them you attack the person calling you out. You hijack the threads of others and try to make them about your lies. You need to stop doing that.

This is called nuisance and harassment. You are the real trolls on here as you keep following me uninvited talking nonsense, heckling, lying, and everything that misbehaving children enjoy doing. I will continue reviewing products and commenting on chess anyways, those who want to learn and benefit read my posts, those who are not interested move on to other posts and activities. My time is two precious to waste on hecklers and nuisance.

Boring...

Dude, YOU are the problem not anyone else on this forum. When you are not here things all go just fine.

You are the nuisance by giving your extreme opinions that have never been proved by evidence of any kind. Remember, just because you say something is true does not make it so. In fact when you say something is true, we can figure it is the complete opposite of how things should be.

If you just stay away from this forum everything would be better.

I bought a first edition My 60 Memorable Games by Bobby Fischer not too long ago, I believe it only ended up costing me a little over $100 but they usually go for about 300.
Edit - pardon the italics lol.. can't takem off?

Fischer’s 60 Memorable Games is one of the best books ever written. The first edition is very valuable and they are worth around $400-$500.

The hardcover edition is even more valuable. I will keep mine as it is almost impossible to find another one.

Hmm, I found 10 of them here:

https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?an=bobby+fischer&dj=on&fe=on&sortby=17&tn=60+memorable+games&cm_sp=pan-_-srp-_-dj

And another 10 or so here:

https://www.biblio.com/search.php?biblio_id=36445259&stage=1&format=hardcover

Not really hard to find. I found these in about 15 seconds. (Some on that second link are the same sellers as the first link)

(And I seriously doubt you have one.)

The most expensive chess book I have ever bought is between $10-15. I prefer to take cheap books and look at them further instead of getting an expensive book to do that stuff for me. As for the room, that sounds like a Man Cave for nerds lol

Agreed, Mr. Sava, a First Edition, First printing in VG/VG (for HC book and dustjacket) should not be more than $100 to $125, and some go for half that from more generous sellers. I own a First Edition, Second Printing In Fine/VG condition I found in a used bookstore for $3.00 about 25 years ago. Obviously, the owner didn't know what he had. That doesn't happen now when you can reference the web.

You now modified your first claim by adding signed to first edition. Now I can believe $400 for a VG/VG copy and even more for a pristine one. You should have been careful to add the modifier in Post #53 and we could have saved Post #54, #58, #59 and #60.

I'm sorry to say that's a rather flimsy excuse. Most newspapers, even "top" ones are not something I would ever want to use as my standard; I would aim higher, much higher. Call it a typing error if you must, but if I had done that I would have just called it a mistake and apologized for the confusion.

This is how Stauntonmaster works.

He makes a claim then when it is proven that he is lying he changes the claim.

Then he says that he was not lying, as he says this time "Typing errors are common even in top newspapers."

This, however is not a typing error. A typing error is something like this:

"The rain in Soain fall mainly on the plain." where I mistype an "o" for the the "p" in Spain.

So, another lie from Stauntonmaster.

Also notice that now "his" signed copy is, according to him, worth even more.

He is a troll who lies constantly. Chess.com needs to ban him again as he will get more outrageous with his lies and attacks on products that he has never owned, knows nothing about, and just posts to stir trouble.

What has this to do with topic ?

Hey Stauntonmaster, wrong thread. This is the thread where I point out your lies about books.

Can't even keep your lies straight.

At least I use my real named and location,.

What is yours? What is your real name, where do you live?

BTW, I work for a software company that makes software for the restaurant industry, We have customers around the world and I have personally been all over the US and to 7 different countries installing and training users of our software products. I travel 3-4 weeks out of the month doing that.

How about you?

I do not care who you are and what you are. What I can see so far is you are an idle person with lots of free time to go round advertising for your bosses selling chess and distracting and harassing customers who are not happy with your bosses’ products.

Secondy, you are not allowed in any circusmtance to go round like a busy-body asking people on chess.com who they are, where they live, what is their job and other personal and private information. These are all none of your business and it is illegal and breach of personal data protection to ask such questions.

All members and none members in here are entitled to privacy and data protection and your asking people for their personal data is a violation of GDPD

You do not understand what a breach of personal data protection actually is, do you?

Me asking is not a violation of anything.

Nice try troll.

Still waiting for where I used a swear word towards you. You have 3 hours to give the example or you will be reported to chess.com

Oh, I don't sell it. I make the sales guys dreams come true.

But, yes, it is a great job and I am very fortunate to do something I love doing. And it affords me the luxury of a little splurging on chess stuff - just not a lot of time to study seriously.

I would love to sit around all day on planes and play chess while at it too, but someones gotta do the dirty work or else people like you couldn't enjoy the luxuries you do. Nice to know you're fortunate enough to sit on the freedom others provide instead of providing it yourself.

I don't consider my job sitting on the freedom of others. I can easily put in 15- 16 hour days on the road, installing equipment and getting it to work through firewalls and with other systems.

Trust me, I earn every dime I make.
