You know, it just occurred to me that these book are all good, in their own way (duh!)  So...I don't think I'll play this one any more.

Heal My 60 Memorable Games why would anyone want to hurt this awesome book?  Granted BF was an anti-semitic sociopathic asshole, but this book is a work of art that should be judged on its own merits, not his (or lack thereof)

Thanks for starting another hurt/heal! I'll probably do one this summer.

A book is not worth a fight therefore is should be eliminated as fast as possible.

There is no free cheese (rapid chess improvement) especially with many plots and graphs.

The book is a complete waste of money just a glorified informerical that appeals to people desperate for quick fixes and pie in the sky miracles that will bring their skills up to a very high standard without of alot of blood,sweat,tears time and hard work.

Wishful thinking!

I think you need to heal and hurt in order for your vote to count.

Avatar of ChessisGood

Healing and Hurting is Encouraged, but not required.

Heal Dvoretsky

Hurt Silman Endgame

Message to All: I am not necessarily hurting books that I do not like. Instead, I hurt whichever book is in the lead in order to make he compitition more interesting. Also, if you wish to say something other than hurt/heal, please use a separate forum or include your vote, remembering that it is restricted to one/day. Thanks,
