Dear Chess Fans:
To bad I did not know about this program before it took place. Guess we can
listen every Tuesday. Maybe the shows are archived on the website. Note the URL
for Wilson's own website. He has some Chess Trading Cards on the website. I am
hoping he will do an article on them for a future issue of SQUARES
(www.squares64.com) a very fine quarterly chess magazine.

Hi folks:
My internet radio show, Chess & Books with Fred Wilson, returns Tuesday
evening, March 15th, at 8:00 PM (EST). You can access it easily by simply going
to the excellent website: http://www.chess.fm . It will run every Tuesday night
from 8:00 to 10:00 PM (EST), with a replay of the live show following almost
immediately afterwards, for chess enthusiasts on the West Coast.
Fred's first guest will be the very popular, author, teacher and
chess historian IM JOHN DONALDSON. John has written over 25 highly regarded
books, including the definitive work on the Accelerated Dragon and, with Nicolai
Minev, the epochal two volume biographical games collection "Akiba
Rubinstein: Uncrowned King". This Tuesday evening John will discuss the
upcoming new edition of his "BOBBY FISCHER: LEGEND ON THE ROAD, along with
his new book on the legendary California IM, author & teacher Imre Konig. John
will also touch upon the crucial upcoming USCF elections for the policy board in
June, along with the formation of a new, exciting national chess league by Greg
Shahade, via the ICC. Additionally, John, who was co-commentator with John
Watson at the recent US Championships, will share his impressions of this
exciting and dramatic event. John will also, of course, give his take on the
recently concluded Linares super-tournament, and Garry's "apparent"
retirement. Please email questions for John Donaldson about chess history,
literature, teaching, or the Mechanic's Institute Chess Club in San Francisco
(which John manages) to fred@fredwilsonchess.com or Tony Rook.
In future weeks I hope to have GM Maurice Ashley, IM Jennifer Shahade,
Bruce Pandolfini, IM Larry Kaufman, GM John Fedorowicz, GM Lev Alburt, GM Larry
Christiansen and many, many more important members of our chess community on my
show. Please feel free to email me interesting questions for these chess
professionals.
I am very happy to be back and hope you will all listen in!
Best in chess, Fred Wilson
