As you can see, I was not impressed.<BR/><BR/>You mention Pawn Structure Chess. I own Kmoch's Pawn Power in Chess, which I started to read but really disliked and therefore never finished. I've been wondering about this book as an alternative. If you ever do pick it up, let me know what you think.ALDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11671975784503809433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8555602.post-1115660498179508562005-05-09T13:41:00.000-04:002005-05-09T13:41:00.000-04:00There are very few books on my wish list right now...There are very few books on my wish list right now. I just bought Tisdall's Improve Your Chess Now, which has some good information in it. I think I also want Soltis' Pawn Structure Chess. Other than that, I'll pass.<BR/><BR/>I already own around 30 chess books. I'll bet that those 30 would get me to around master level if I fully learned everything inside them. However, finding the time to do just that is the trick. I took 6 months to read Pachman's Modern Chess Strategy last year. I actually memorized the games and wouldn't move onto a new game or point of instruction until I had the current game and its variations memorized. Now, I can't say that I still retain those games, but hopefully I retain the main ideas.CelticDeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08038723918435574366noreply@blogger.com
