	US Chess doesn't sell books. They have an outsourced book vendor, but the vendor pays a set amount for the contract and US Chess receives nothing beyond the contracted amount. In other words, no conflict. Not that you were accusing me of such, of course.

	More book reviews are welcome, but there is somewhat of a problem when books are reviewed in a publication run by an entity that hopes to sell more of these very same books. The possibility of such a conflict of interest detracts from the quality and perhaps even the integrity of the reviews. A general statement, not necessarily applicable to this blog. I would hope.

	Dubious, therefore playable

	Playing a bit of catchup, here are the last two reviews from the July and August issues of Chess Life. I cover Bisguier's books in July and recent training books (Edouard, Kalinin, and Moskalenko) in August. https://chessbookreviews.wordpress.com/2017/08/08/bisguiers-books-and-beyond/ https://chessbookreviews.wordpress.com/2017/08/08/trend-hopping/

A small web-only bonus appears at the end of the review. https://chessbookreviews.wordpress.com/2017/04/04/keres-magnum-opus/ Good review. I'm a big fan of tournament books. Back in the day, the games to know were the ones played in the big tournaments and matches. Today, the stem game could be some obscure correspondence game. When I see that, I can't help but feel that chess has lost some of its charm.

	I always have a picture of Samuel L. Jackson next to my computer for inspiration.

	I'll forgive you for "sitzfleisch", since your name indicates francophonic tendencies. But really, as a philosopher, you deserve eternal punishment from (non-ChessPub) Descartes' demon for sinning against Ancient Greek.

	The content was good, but I wanted to mention a couple of typos with foreign language terms: 1. sitzfleisch (not sitzfleish) 2. seauton (not sauton)
