I am pretty much done trading for 2020.

  1. I have a book project to finish and unless I see something outrageously obvious I won't be trading for the rest of the year. I am publishing a chess book, with all the craziness of the Queen's Gambit, chess and books are back in Vogue. If you have any time, watch the Netflix series of the Queen's Gambit.

    Before you complete your book, you HAVE to try solo chess. Play chess with yourself. Your mind will explode.

  3. Only crazy people talk to themselves or play solo chess. :)

    Yeah, but crazy people get rich, and go places. :)

  5. TBF probably their best chance of intelligent conversation (and winning at chess).
     
  6. Jokes aside, Youtube has the last game from Queens Gambit analyzed and it is fascinating if you like chess.

    Thanks, that was awesome to watch. Knowing my play style, I would not have seen the King e2-d2 at the end. I would have probably tried a K e2-f1 move and gotten all hung up trying to use that promoted pawn in some future attack plan, while getting pinned in my own corner, lol!

    Great stuff.

  9. Thanks - it is actually Capablanca's book (public domain) - the current one on the market has illustrations missing. Don't buy this one...(it is mine but the new version is coming)
