&#8220;Perfect Your Chess,&#8221; published by gambit and written by Andrei Volokitin and his trainer Vladimir Grabinsky is a superb book, with hilarious cover art that I love.  Essentially, this is a tactics book for GM&#8217;s.  The book is broken into three sections, with each section increasing in difficulty, though to be honest, they [...]]]></description>

Yesterday, I posted an entry here discussing the recent resignation of the President of Kalmykia, and how this might affect the upcoming FIDE election.  Obviously, my political feelings on this are shaped by the articles that I read on ChessVibes and ChessBase, so it was refreshing to get another perspective. Pavel had a lot [...]]]></description>

The open ruy lopez was a career favorite of Viktor Korchnoi, who played it consistently and with success against top flight opposition.  The game could not be more different from the closed, maneuvering ruy lopez of the chigorin, breyer or zaitsev variations.  In the open, black places his knight centrally and looks for [...]]]></description>
