This is an interview given from Soren Seagaard, from the excellent chess reviews site: http://seagaard.dk/review/eng/content/index.asp where they interview Alexander Münninghoff, the author of "Max Euwe - The Biography". SS: "Thank you for taking your time answering these questions, what are your plans for the future? Are you going to write more books?" AM: "Yes, but I think no more about chess. I find the chess world less interesting as there are too many tournaments and encounters, which inevitably leads to less drama in chess. A win or a loss have less impact on the topplayer, who hops constantly around the globe from one tournament to another. But I have other subjects in my mind and I am sure that you, if your reading is not confined to chess literature, will hear from me again." Perhaps there is too many tournaments, too many top players, and too many World Chess Champions, for some of the more helpful sponsor's and/or media, to do any more good, because with so much of this aready, nobody really cares - Especially in the United States? (my comments). To try to stay on the topic of computer chess - Perhaps the match coming up between Deep Fritz & Kramnik, is happening with just the right passage of time, (Since Deep Blue vs. Kasparov), to still be fantastically interesting for the public (especially the Western public).
