You still working on that book of yours? I still want my autographed copy if it's in the works! Also, I want a shot at you again, but you're at your limit!
I will send you over a challenge pretty soon 😀

Gotcha! Good luck in the ironing, but seriously, you really don't know how excited I am for this book when it comes out!
Yes the whirlwind that has been my life still needs a bit of ironing...but I need to start playing again to help me get my mind off of some of the things that are going on.
Thanks Tony...I appreciate your concern alot 😀

What's this about a book big guy? It's a novel is it? 😉 Seriously, what kind of chess book is it going to be?
It's a ground breaking work...Benko did a book similar to my idea but he never really got to where I am going.
It has been a hell of a thing to sit down and try to do and I still have alot of work and some revisions before I finally submit it...but when it is done I think I will get some awards on it.
And I will make a dedication page to RHP and it's members of course!!
I have worked alot of my theories out right here.
Any questions on it please feel free to ask 😀

Wow! Sounds interesting. Tim (tenebr8) often says that he puts his improvement down to simply finding out what *kind* of a player he is, and which positions and openings he feels comfortable in, and thus trying to avoid those in which he does not.
If I may be so bold as to reel off some pretentious twaddle I firmly believe that part of developing as a person is finding out what you like and what you don't like, sort of really getting to know yourself so you can have the confidence to be yourself. Perhaps chess is similar - understanding what type of player you are is a big step to growing and developing as a player.
Good luck with it 🙂

I have cracked how to show people how they are and what will best suit their personality...easy to say and show..harder to write though.

Hi, my friend Dave
I'm also very interessed and intriguing about your book 😲 .
Some years ago I readed a book from Krogius "Chess Psichology", was very interessent. 😕 I will wait for him and hope that you finish your book/project as soon as it can be. 😏
Regards,
