How does the Bronstein delay differ from the Fischer delay? Is it that the Fischer delay is added for every move, and the Bronstein delay doesn't start counting for the delay period, but doesn't accumulate? Something like that? --- Replace you know what by j to email

This is not a store, but a liquidation of my personal collection, so once they are gone, that's it. Most are at less than half the retail price. There's also a tournament set and roll-up board with carrying case (new - never used) for $14. Quantity discounts possible. Only actual shipping charged. I can set it up on eBay if you feel more comfortable, but I's have to tack on $1 for their...

Since I've been hitting CT-ART pretty hard I had to restrain myself from slapping some of the players on the head for not playing the correct moves... Had the opportunity to meet GM Julio Becerra. Super nice guy, much younger than I thought he would be....a pretty good player too. :) Watched him take apart a Master in what seemed like an even endgame. I may need more time to study/practice...

WHERE WERE WE? The memoir that I have been working on is with the publisher and it will be appearing in March in Malaysia, Singapore, Australia and London, with a later date after translation for China. So there is now some time. Where were we?

A really fascinating series of pictures is currently posted at ChessBase from Mark Taimanov's photo album. The GM just turned 80. Apart from some interesting pictures of Reschevsky, there is also that famous game Taimanov :: Evans, with Che Guevara looking on. This picture is from a different angle than the one on Taimanov's double CD. Notes accompany each picture, and many famous chess players...
