MCC Openings Group will meet tonight at 7.45pm, free to MCC members, and just $5 visitors fee to non members.

The topic tonight is how short draws can be interesting to opening theorists

Another interesting night

I like the top ten block on your blog!

Surprising to see that after so many years, Ivanchuk is still in the world's top ten!

At least with a knowledge of these things players can expect to have some chances in the middlegames, rather than drifting aimlessly.

Looks lke someone has studied "Pawn Poer in Chess" by Kmoch

But was Kmoch the original author of that book? Wasn't there a similar titled book by Alekhine?
