well, aww-rats is a common expression used by many, and 99,99% disagree with you. also, you are further proof most people don't read threads. I already do exactly what you say I should do. See my post above.

Aww-rats is a nifty name. :-)

A 1972 edition of MCO? lol  That reminds me of a time I saw in a bookstore an old opening book that they gave a premium price to because it was "out of print." 

The Charousek and Blackburne books sounded good to me anyway.  Also Konstan(tin)opolski and the Chigorin by Yudovich...and the Suetin (I've always wondered how you pronounce his name btw).
