In the late 1970's before databases Levy and O'Connell had a truly wonderful
idea. All the games that have ever played in book format covering about 10 Volumes!

I show two games the latter sets up a theme from this position.



And the glorious RHP games follow from here.

This weeks Rip Off Book is an unbelievable piece
of jumping on the 1972 band wagon marketing.
