For the intermediate player who wants to understand pawn play, I recommend Kmoch after studying two books by Dražen Marović: "Understanding Pawn Play in Chess" and "Dynamic Pawn Play in Chess".

"Pawn Structure Chess" by Soltis also makes a good "First Year" introduction to "Pawn Power".

Is it a book on bragging? You seem to be an expert.

I am an Expert, but much more than that...  much stronger than that

 

Bragging?  is it really considered bragging if I speak the truth?

what would happen if I played you a supposed 2300 Daily Level player in 3/0 blitz... do you think that you would defeat me? would you stand a chance?  if you believe that you would then I will definitely put on an exhibition against you to demonstrate my words are true

I have no doubt that I would defeat you easily 3-0 in 3/0 blitz.  

 

we both know that I'm telling the truth

I've personally met about a dozen GMs (including conversations with Larsen and Karpov, and a game against Tal) and in all that time I've never met a single titled player who boasts and brags.

If you're trying to pretend you're a GM, you're doing it wrong.

I don't pretend

 

I even challenged my fellow GMs to come play me so that I may show to the world that what they pretend to be is better than everyone when they are not

 

don't ignore my challenge older 2300 Daily player.  Let's play 3/0 blitz 

 

3 games.  I want to crush you & show everyone how strong I am

Won’t buy it, so no problem. You said last week you were leaving the site. I don’t buy books by liars. I doubt you’ll even publish a self-published book. Skills. Absence.

"The two big categories of what the students of chess should learn are what to do and what not to do in the openings".

What a joke. Students of chess...yet there is no chess in the books. The theory goes that a student cant handle chess, so tell them they are special (as long as they buy and consume)

"We ran Arena 3.5.1 matches of Brainfish version from February 8, 2019, configured with its Cerebellum opening book playing blitz games of chess against itself to extract the first lines for the previously selected 1,442 popular and/or promising variations and 167 popular transpositions. Brainfish was configured to always playthe best move from its opening book until it ran out of the book moves..... to help them pick openings and variations that suit their emerging individual styles for future in-depth study. The collection can then serve them as a good starting point for building their personal opening repertoires by concentrating on some of the openings and specific variations when playing the white pieces and preparing to play other openings and variations with the black pieces"

ROFTL....the whole education system is a complete joke.

I am sure every publishing house is dying to print your book, but you are bragging. Still single, I asssume?

Speaking of single, are there any single women on this forum?

That was my attempt at humor, but I actually would like to meet a woman that appreciates chess as much as I do. They’re hard to find.
