I've started a blog devoted to chess book reviews.  The first two reviews - Hawkins' Amateur to IM, and Lars Bo Hansen's What Would a GM Do - are up.  I welcome comments and adulation! Smiley



Very nicely written reviews. I look forward to seeing more.

Thanks for the kinds words, Bibs. I do hope you're living in the States, as the NA is programmed in such a way (the way the flag fall is handled, etc) that it's best used for US Chess events. It's not FIDE certified like the 2010 or the 3000. Assuming you're in the States, however, it's really a great deal!

Many, many thanks for this review -  perfect timing here.
Been looking to buy one for ages, and just got back active again in tournaments, so need one. Followed your recommendation and bought the inexpensive NA one on Amazon.

Thanks!

This month you get a bonus!

Here's my review essay devoted to new chess clocks from the September 2016 issue of Chess Life. My thanks to them, as always, for letting me republish it on my blog.

The September 2016 issue of Chess Life marked its 70th anniversary; as such, columnists were asked to write something related to the magazine's history. Here is my September column, devoted to the memory of Fred Reinfeld.

Maybe you should check the new book of Thomas Luther. Probably I'm biased through being disabled now (in another way than the author). The psychological part is the best summary I ever read from a non-psychologist about scientific research. It's a really honest book and was for me the best chess reading from this years books. Have a look. It could be worth reviewing, what haven't been done so far if I didn't miss something.
