Is that by chance the same guy I'm playing against right now? Or is this your normal playing strength?

I have a copy... it's my one and only hardcover chess book. But, believe it or not, I haven't gotten around to reading it. I tried once, when I first got it long ago, but it was too advanced for me... I cracked it open again once you brought it up, and it seems quite readable now. So maybe I should give it another chance.

If you're willing to pay some serious money for the book, you can find it used through abebooks.com and amazon.com

You could also try putting it on your wishlist on half.ebay.com, and specify a lower price... and if they ever get it in for that price or lower, they'll contact you.

My personal favorite is Chess for Zebras by Jonathan Rowson. I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in "chess philosophy" as well as studying the game itself.
