Congrats you have the last word in about 9 posts now.
You must feel like king of the world.

You can write out whatever name you wish, little man, but I assure you it won't be mine. I'm quite confident we've never met. You wouldn't qualify to be the coffee boy in the chess circles that I patronize.

Seems to me like YOU are the one who petulantly needs to get the last word in. You won't stop!

I'll post as much as I want vippo. If that makes you feel like crying, you better stock up on tissue paper.

I suggest you use your leisure time and learn how to play chess instead of picking fights with strangers.

I bet I have more, since I can get them all for free from www.gigapedia.org .

If anyone should be booted out of here it's an annoying mouthpiece instigator like you. In case you haven't noticed, this is a CHESS FORUM. Your posts have nothing at all to do with chess. Are you're capable of doing trying to start flame wars.

I read the other thread by greenpawn. I do exactly the same thing. I've only read about 20 or so cover to cover. I hop around in the others and put them back on the shelf. A couple months ago, I wanted to start reading them all. I read The Most Instructive Games Of Chess Ever Played, Petrosian's Best Games Of Chess, and Why Lasker Matters. ...[text shortened]... with Petrosian's Legacy. Every game in Legacy has not been covered in the Clarke book!
I put Petrosian's Legacy. That was a brainslip. The other book with all the Petrosian games is Petrosian Vs The Elite. Petrosian's Legacy is a great book too by the way.

I have one. Chess made easy, I should probably buy some more but can't be bothered.

Nowadays I have a piece of paper. One side is a movie I haven't seen. On the other is a chessbook I want. I think about the 400+ books I already have and buy the movie. 🙂 I have thought about putting most of them on ebay, but I don't have a digital camera and doubt I would get much. It's hard, at least for me, to pay $20 for something and get back $5. I'd rather just keep it.

I don't think so Frank. We need someone with an IQ larger than their waist size.

Jason: Everytime that you show up here I wonder the same thing. Why are you so angry?

Haven`t counted. Could be about 50. But I`ve read much more.
