a thing of the past? With online coverage of GM events..who needs (expensive) magazines? Most books are now written by obscure IM's and GM's you've never heard of...
@ogb saidLast book I bought was End Game - John Nunn, that was ages ago. I look at the puzzle in the U.K. times paper on a commute. Lost touch with current Masters as in reading material🤷♂️ Most of my stuff is the old text.

@greenpawn34 saidAlso it's good to have a hard copy you can read on a journey or take to a board to play out the games in 3d. (that way the OTB patterns stick)
Hi e4e5f4d5
"Magazine's are going away with the Dodo."
Maybe some but with printed matter you can locate something you read
about a few years back right away. Trying to find something of interest
that you need to see on the net can be a pain, even if it's a few weeks old.
(sometimes what ever it was has gone forever and recently thanks to British
Telecom ...[text shortened]... ed to me in small doses.)

@greenpawn34 saidGreenpawn - Your posts here are very much appreciated. We're about the same age, and I agree the path to the bingo board is the path to the dark side of the universal force. 🙂
HI mchill,
I do know if they are lessons, I like to think I'm giving ideas for you lot to chase
at the same time I'm having fun and keeping myself sane, At my age the only
other option is too stop doing things and go old. That is the path to Bingo.
@hells-caretaker saidlol John Nunn ??!! LOL Yikes he was from the 60's or 70's ?? the chess publishers haven't gotten much from you ...ha ha ...
