Mr. Dictator may have overlooked my point, which was that (I hope) Garry's
earlier book, "Fighting Chess, My Games and Career," was actually written by
*him*, and not somebody else. If this is not true, I'm sure there must be
*some* book out there actually written by Kasparov, which would suffice.



Heehe,...there you go again,...heehe,..."Plagurism, PLAGURISM!!"


Nincompoop! He doesn't even know how to properly spell "playguerilizsm"!
Illituritt moron.




the major point of contention that I have with Winter, and you, is that I
don't
agree with the criteria with which you are judging it...It's far too strict
and
defy's the point of the work.


Okie-dokey. Banning outright plagiarism is "too strict" for Mr. Dictator.
Finding factual errors is also "too strict" for him. Thanks for clearing that
up -- we now a much better idea of Mr. Dictator's, shall we say, "standards."



It's a GOOD
book,...,...why don't you read it?


Because Mr. Dictator claims it is a good book, by *his* dispicably low
standards.

My standards of what constitutes a good book, are just a bit higher -- that's
why. Even so, before I realized that this book met Mr. Dictator's particularly
low standards, I read a long review, and a multi-page sample available for
free, on the net. They seemed to jibe.


I expect more than a few readers of this thread will have noted that Mr.
Dictator refuses to address the charge that Kasparov did not really write much
of this book. Worse, he continues to base his worthless praise on the idea
that Kasparov did just that, along with deriding the critics for daring to
examine this work to determine its quality.




"If you haven't got the message already - this is a fantastic book. The sort
of
book that I will have to lock away for fear of spending too much time reading
and re-reading it! I can't wait for the next installment!" - New In Chess,
2003


A quote which clearly demonstrates that its author had NOT already read this
book. Duh!
Learn to read -- and you'll be amazed at the improvement in your
comprehension! GM Sadler fears he may spend too much time READING this book,
for the first time, or even again, afterwards! LOL!




what little crack do you have for
Mr. Sadler?


I'm only a user -- not a pusher! But if I were one, I would undoubtedly go
with the Wal-mart strategy: stack 'em deep, and sell 'em cheap! So, the silly
charge that I tried to sell Sadler "a little" is absurd, in addition to being
groundless ad hominem. Er, just how much is he wiling to pay? ;-)





He selectively threw it through the
'Winter-Filter' and picked it apart,...you even state this "...is his
favorite thing to do!" so why do you defend the reviewer so adamantly,.


Mr. Dictator is *very* confused. I deliberately inserted a criticism of
Winter in order to make crystal-clear the fact that this is an entirely
seperate matter! Criticizing the critic fails utterly to address his
criticisms. Hello? Any intelligent life out there? I thought not. Perhaps
on Mars, then....
