i like to play chess in my spare time which is sometimes several times a day and sometimes once a week or a little less. i do not have a computer at home so i am limited to the public library's schedule. my favorite chess books are: the opening game in chess- ludek pachman, winning pawn structures- alexander baburin, pandolfini's endgame course- bruce pandolfini, zurich international chess tournament 1953- david bronstein, and kasparov vs. karpov 1975-1985- g.k. kasparov.
