(solskytz) Are you sure it's not 1000 best 'short games' of chess? That one's by the same author, and is available free on google docs for anyone interested.. Uses old notation but has loads of games/commentary..
Yes it is!!!
It's an amazing book. I wasn't aware that I could find it again through Google...

Start with Opening Principles:
1. Control the center.
2. Develop minor pieces toward the center.
3. Castle.
4. Connect your rooks.
This way when you decide on what openings to tech them, they will have an idea "why" each move is made.
Connect your rooks?They'll start playing h4-Rh3-a4-Ra3.

Halp? That word sounds strange to me. Could you spell it?
A chess.com member that shall remain nameless...but IF we were to make up a name...we would call them "ChessOath" Needer further explaination as to why this is NOT "connecting your rooks"
The reason this is not considered connecting your rooks is because...well ill be! They are connected...nevermind.

Wait... You're admitting that you were wrong... Hmm... Feels like a trap... This never happens, I don't know what to do!
I guess I'll just subtly avoid responding by apologising to the OP for helping in derailing his thread and hope that nobody notices...
Sorry OP.
I think I got away with it...
Go ahead.
