Alex,

Sorry, I haven't maintained that webpage in a while. I'm surprised anyone
cares what I study. But I can tell you (it is a short list):

--Reinfeld, 1001 Brilliant Checkmates (twice through, writing out all
solutions in all variations)
--Horowitz and Reinfeld, Chess Traps, Pitfalls & Swindles
--Renaud and Kahn, The Art of the Checkmate
--Chernev and Reinfeld, Winning Chess: How to See Three Moves Ahead

Also I've read the text in Aagard, Excelling at Chess, but haven't studied
the chess positions.

I may resume studying and updating my chess webpages in 2004. This has been
a busy year.

Tim Hanke

In case anyone's interested, my ten favorite works of literatu

1. How to Become a Candidate B- Player, by Igor Alphabetski
2. How to Remember your Last Move, by Rudolph Alzheimer
3. White to Play and Lose! by Jean-Paul Perdu
4. Black to Play and Lose! by Malcolm Ex-Lax
5. Unsound Combinations by Anatoly Lame and Boris Spasstic
6. Losing Pawn Structures by Alexander Sloburin
7. Smell Like a Grandmaster, by I. Reek
8. The Inner Game of Chess: Miscalculate and Lose, by Rolf Verlossen
9. Beat the Narcs at Chess, by Larry Parr and C. Rackhead
10. Paul Rubin's 64 Least Instructive Losses, by Paul Rubin

Very warmest regards from the snowbound northeast,

Actually it's a pretty interesting page Tim.

I use "1001 Brilliant Checkmates" as a drill in my iPaq using Graduate
Chess http://www.mud.ca/gchess/gchess.html . There's a new version coming
out soon (before Xmas) that will include a more drills including Reinfeld's
combinations book. It's a great way to carry chess tutorials with your
whever you go, and actually more convenient than a book.

I read on your page that you set up the board sometimes and work out the long
ones. I set the positions up ALL the time, only I do NOT move the pieces. If I
can't figure out the position after about 10 minutes, I reveal ONE move. Then I
try and figure out what effect on the position that move had. If after another
5 minutes I still can't figure it out, I just look at the answer. I have all
these positions on what you would call "flash cards", so I just move to the
next card. I like the cards much better, you don't have to keep flipping back
and forth in the book as the answer is right on the back of the card. Works
great for me.

Regards,
Jeff
