Hi Peter,

>How about posting a review on Amazon when you've read it?

The March 2000 issue of the ICCA/ICGA Journal contains an
independent 2-page review of the book by Dap Hartmann.

The April/May 2000 issue of the German periodical
"Computer-Schach & Spiele" carried an independent 3-page
review of the book by Chrilly Donninger.

Excerpts of both reviews are available on my WWW page about
the book at http://supertech.lcs.mit.edu/~heinz/node1.html.

>I'm interested in whether there is much new material in the book, or whether
>most of the book has been published in the form of ICCA articles etc.

A valid question: if you are looking for loads of new stuff
as compared with my previous publications, you will be
disappointed. The chapters feature many extensions to their
previously published "ancestors", though.

Relating to your question, Dap Hartmann states the following
in his review.

"Most of the material has already been published in the ICCA
 Journal or presented at the ACC9 conference. But the text has
 been expanded and two chapters and several appendices have been
 added.

 [...]

 I applaud Heinz's initiative to rework his ICCA articles and
 ACC conference contributions into this highly enjoyable book
 which turned out to be much more than the sum of the individual
 components."

Hopefully, the above answers your question.
