How about a box of cigarettes and a bottle of mineral water?

I guess that all depends wether you smoke or not. I haven't looked at teh stats but i think more people drive then smoke! Thus the car (and years free petrol) is incredibly hard to out do. I mean people have to get to a chess venue somehow! But I spose the mineral water is a good gift idea for a chess player

I wonder what games are contained in that book? Mostly Ian Roger games probably. Where can I obtain a copy?

There are a few Rogers games, but not even close to "mostly". As a collection of the finest attacking games played by Aussies in the past 30-40 years, some of the winners include Hjorth, Depasquale, Smerdon, Solomon, Wohl, Sztern, Zhao and plenty of others. Brilliancy victims include GMs Short, Ermenkov, Johansen, Gipslis and Georgiev, to name a few.

I am expecting the books hot off the press within the next day or two. When I've got them in my hands I'll be accepting orders for them.

Getting a copy will be easy. Just send $19.95 plus $3.00 postage and handling ($22.95 total) to:
Kimberley Publications
PO Box 6095
Upper Mount Gravatt
QLD 4122

You can pay by cheque or Aussie Post money order, or by credit card through PayPal, to kimpub@bigpond.net.au

I generally post the book out the same day payment is received.

But let's wait until the book's published!! Won't be long now!

Cheers, Kevin Casey

Sounds awesome Kevin.

But hopefully that game from a few years ago on the Gold Coast where I lost to you isn't in the book
