Nice book, the "Zen..." Also the Petit Prince. I am not so fond of Fromm, though. >Results ? This is Tarrasch ! This quantity. Why do you mention results, then? Why questioning them? I know what you mean. Still, chess ends up being about winning games. This translates into results, quantities, Elo. So, strong (quantity)? Fritz 5 is strong: scores well = high Elo. Soul?
