[ QUOTE ] 60 memorable games, by Fischer (original, not the bastard Nunn version) [/ QUOTE ] LOL, whats wrong with Nunn? I have a few of his books and they seem pretty good. Does he rewrite older books and mess them up or something? [/ QUOTE ] I think this has something to do with an issue over Fischer not giving a permit for the Nunn version. Mr. Ottosen is obviously on Bobby's side [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Bookwise it's fine.

Re: Help a chess noob
In the mid-90s, Nunn/Batsford re-released the book (with all acceptable permits) but he made numerous numerous changes. It now reads like a book written by a university educated British person rather than a high school dropout from Brooklyn. Bobby's grammar was horrible, but when you read the book, it sounded like him talking. Now it doesn't.
For once, Fischer was reasonable in his complaints.

Re: Help a chess noob
I signed up at chesslecture.com
It was $12.95 and worth it IMO. Lots of video lectures and the ones I seen so far were pretty instructional. I used the "Fried liver attack" after watching one video but ran into time trouble as the game was only 5 mins. They have a free video if you want to check it out before signing up.
