I am reading Hans Berliner's "My System" and, after reading a few more pages, I think that this will become the best chess book I have ever read. He makes several amazing claims, including: 1) 1. d4 is white's strongest move and 2) several often-played black defenses are suspect. Given that Berliner is one of the strongest, if not the strongest, chess player to ever head the development of a top-level computer program, I encourage other good chess playing programmers to write books. Unlike many GMs and non-chess playing programmers, great chess playing programmers may have the unique ability to formalize their understanding thus rendering it comprehensible to average, but technically sophisticated, chess players.
