What's the point of that book list?
My point was to demonstrate how unreasonable it is to criticize LT for the title of his TSOC book, as IfPatriotGames seems to do in the quote highlighted in post 5961. If dozens of other chess authors over many years have made dramatic use of the word "secret" in their book titles, what's the big deal when LT does the same?
that's just a complete straw man, like I already told you. the book title is a very very minor criticism. The actual reason why Lyudmil is bashed is a completely different one - because he claims ridiculous things (I am 3 500 strength, Kramnik is weak, etc etc etc) with no back up whatsoever. And because his book doesn't really help us improve, even GM Smerdon says that you shouldn't buy this book if you are club player and want to improve your chess.
I wrote couple of other books, much more usual and easier to understand, extol me for them.
I am the same author, am I not?
Sorry, man. Sockpuppet or not, I won't bite. Still, I wonder why a nutter can't have a good sense of humour.
I like butter pecans most.
