I'm not trying >to pick on MCO 14 but just contrasting the difference. at the swiss chess championship i talked with joe gallagher, one of the authors of NCO. he said that they planned a 2nd edition after about 5 years or so, which would be now, but that they probably won't do it. the reason: not enough sales, and he also said he never worked as hard on a chess book as on NCO. i quite agree, it's a fantastic book. too bad that no successor is planned :-( cheers martin
