I would love to write a chess book !!! Suggested chapters: "Do Not Prepare Openings" ... openings are always being refuted by novelties; your time is better spent experimenting over the board (hey, you might find a novelty yourself). "How to Avoid the Endgame" ... don't you just hate it when an annotator says, "the rest is a merely a matter of technique"?; the endgame requires memorization and perfect execution; any robot can do that. "Kamikaze Chess" ... sacrifice like crazy; it works really, really well against weak players. "Without Compensation for the Material" ... alternate title for "Kamikaze Chess". These are just a few of the unsound ideas I could write about. Maybe we could call the book, "Chess for Pure Fun". Mark (counting my royalties)
