I've been experimenting with it and it seems not as good or systematic as I expected so I'm probably not getting the move order right. Thanks, Spurtus

I have only seen one book on Stonewall attack it put out by Chess Digest,written by GM Andrew Soltis, I saw the book for sale on www.amazon.com It was expensive I though for the book. I hope this helps you out. Good luck in future games. Thanks

Posted by savage4731 blitzbrain.com 4/27/2008 21:00:24 Play online chess	Stonewall attack Message: The book "How to think ahead in chess" by Reinfeld/ Horowitz is a repertoire book that covers the basics of the stonewall. Amazon is way too expensive though. I bought my copy at a local used bookstore for about $5.

Chess news: Chess notes — In a review of Diego Rasskin-Gutman’s book “Chess Metaphors’’ (MIT Press), which deserves special attention by chess lovers, former world chess champion Garry Kasparov has published in The New York Review of Books a retrospective look at the development of chess machines. He also expresses a hope for the future. It is strange to this column that Kasparov ever thought that he would be a worthy opponent of chess computers. The computers have so many advantages over human beings in playing chess that it is hardly a fair fight. The chess computer memory is simply a copying device, the machine can look at any number of books on chess openings, and ... Relentless Veselin Topalov wins again — The great double round robin in Linares, Spain, ended in a dramatic victory for world chess championship challenger Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria. Like a crafty pitcher who wins without his best stuff, Topalov succeeded without revealing any opening secrets he had prepared for his April match against chess champion Viswanathan Anand. Two of his four wins came from inferior positions, and only once did he outplay his opponent thanks to an advantage in the opening. Topalov's legendary determination highlighted the final round. His cautious opponent, Boris Gelfand of Israel, reached an obviously drawn endgame, yet Topalov induced an almost imperceptible ... Young Grandmaster-to-Be Bows to Formidable Older Foe — Older chess players are not an endangered species, but there is no doubt that chess is increasingly dominated by young men (and women). The world’s top-ranked player is 19, and more chess prodigies are emerging everywhere. The latest is Richard Rapport, a 13-year-old from Hungary. In the Gotth’Art Cup, which ended Wednesday in Hungary, Richard earned the final norm toward a grandmaster title. He has not yet qualified for the title, because his rating is below 2,500, the level needed to become a chess grandmaster, but there seems little doubt that he soon will satisfy that last requirement. When he does, he will become the 18th player to become a grandmaster before ...
