Nice post! What a lovely analysis board!

Your brain is going to be fried. Your going to turn into a author of chess instead of playing chess when your finish. Too many authors with many styles find one or two and stick with it.

@ royalbishop:
Were I to stick to reading one or two authors, I would be emulating them, rather than evolving my own style, which would be founded upon a broader base of knowledge.
Bobby Fischer learned Russian so that he could digest more chess literature.
I was just joking. So many books your going to tough to beat. I have read much also. Sometimes i dont know if i should feel sorry my opponent or me. I have so many options, lol. It is so funny sometimes i can literly change my style of chess during a game and they think i am going one way and they go another. Then they dont move for 3 days in a 3day move game, lol.

Here is mine.
Just received Tal's book and Tim Sawyer's BDG book for Christmas!
Reading them both now.
Aaron's Chess Library
A picture of the books that I have collected on chess to date. Most have come from either Goodwill or Mount Sheba rummage in Jupiter, NC.
I've only read a handful of these books as of yet—slowly working my way through them with a 5" sheesham wood set I just love. Reviews of the books that I have read can be found here: Aaron's Book Reviews
I ordered my 5" magnetic set from a guy on eBay. It shipped from India to NC in less than 2 weeks. This was before USCF Sales started carrying similar sets.
