	Dan Patrick:Give Heisman nod to Weinke
		There have been whispers in the press that some Heisman voters are not even going to vote for Weinke because he is 28 years old.
		Maybe Suzuki, the sponsor of the Heisman, could throw its marketing budget around and demand that this age question be addressed in the future.
		While the Heisman folks are chatting with Bud Selig, they might see that the American League gave its 2000 Rookie of the Year Award to a 32-year-old pitcher named Kazuhiro Sasaki.

	Dan Patrick:Gross Heisman injustice?
		Currently, the Heisman goes to the best skill player on the best team in the country (see: 1992 winner Gino Torretta, the Miami quarterback who wasn't even the best player on his own team and still won).
		There are no Heisman rules dictating age parameters, yet we've gone from complaining that ex-Florida State quarterback Chris Weinke (last year's winner) was too old to saying that Grossman is too young.
		Titans running back and former Heisman Trophy winner Eddie George told me Monday that he believes Grossman is the best player in the country and age won't be a factor in his vote.

	Chessville - Interviews - Dan Heisman - Part 2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Heisman: In a nutshell, it’s making sure that before you make a move, you make sure you can safely meet your opponents checks, captures, and threats that he could play in reply to your move, and you must do that every move.
		Heisman: Yes, but it is also work to play good chess (not just study work, but work on each move) and from instructing, it is clear that many players do not wish to do this, because it takes the fun out of it.
		Heisman: It seems my worst students are the ones who want their lessons formal and humorless, and know exactly what they want.

		Heisman: I played a little when I got better in 1976-77 - by then the young guns were strong, led by IM Bruce Rind, IM Rich Costigan, FM Tom Costigan, FM Karl Dehmelt.
		Heisman: No, I am sure he thought it might be true, but IBM also made a mistake in refusing to try to find Be4 a 2nd time.
		Heisman: No one has measured past that, but the curve was not close to 0, so improvement is still likely after that, dropping off much more gradually than thought previously up to 17-18 ply.

	Ichiro's Edge from The Hardball Times
		In the September 8, 2004, edition of SABR-L, Dan Heisman posed a question which seemed to me to be worthy of a few hours’ research.
		The impact of the longer schedule on the probability of a player of breaking the home run record is different if the player needs to hit 62 homers than it is if he needs to hit 61.
		Heisman speculated that it would be “easier, but not dramatically so.” I would have agreed.

	An Experiment in Rapid Chess Improvement
		Again, Dan's approach (at least with me) is to help me with the "basic" stuff I'm not doing well such as time management, developing my pieces, etc. It is very frustrating to not be able to do these things.
		Dan noticed that in the tactic where I won a pawn there were two possible captures.
		Dan's suggestion was that if two moves are very similar in evaluation, then just pick one and move.

	Seagaard - Chess Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Heisman tells that he decided to look at the Traxler because it seemed one of the most direct tactical opening variations, and therefore the line best suited for computer-helped analysis.
		Heisman has obviously used his own reasonable playing strength to guide and check the computer analysis.
		Heisman stands of the shoulders of the two major works of the Traxler by Estrin (1978) and Cramer (1993).

		I listened to Dan Heisman on Thursday because I didn't go to kendo class - I'm having these weird dizzy spells probably caused by sinus or something - anyway, I listened to him on ChessFM and got to ask him some questions, one of which is what Pirc book would he recommend.
		Dan Heisman thinks I wasted my time memorizing the tactics I did, but I disagree.
		I started playing one of Dan's students on ICC (he waxed me twice) and he said Dan is pretty blunt but it is very helpful.

		For those of you wondering, yes, I still plan on taking lessons from Dan Heisman and of course, my first chess mentor and friend, The Bald Idiot, who will always be my first choice as a second, in case I ever get to be a Grandmaster and go to play in Grandmaster tournaments.

	Looking for Trouble: Recognizing and Meeting Threats in Chess (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Although it is easy to say "always try to understand what your opponent's move was threatening before making your move", I tend to play fast and impatiently (even when not in any time trouble).
		Heisman's book is great because it forces you to solve the problems in 2 stages - identify the threat, then figure out the remedy.
		Heisman's examples also include some very common themes so I suspect "imprinting" these "tactical images" into my brain will also do me good.

	Question about two books
		Another question is about Dan Heisman's "Evereyone's 2nd Chess Book".
		Heisman has a good reputation as a chess teacher.
		John Nunn's "Understanding Chess Move by Move" is another superb games collection (winner of the British Chess Federation's Book of the Year), geared toward slightly stronger players than the Chernev book, but still with a lot of fine explanatory material.

		In fact, of the last 15 Heisman winners, only 3 have ever made it to a single NFL Pro Bowl.
		I wrote in my article about Braylon Edwards that he is one of the main reasons that our team has been able to maintain such a high level of play this year despite losing many significant offensive starters.
		One of the reasons that Michigan is having a great season despite major loses on the offensive side of the ball, most notably Nivarre and Perry, is Braylon Edwards' oustanding play thus far this year.

		I came across some of Heisman's articles on chesscafe.com and was struck by his clear writing.
		Heisman also explains well the transitions from lower level play (Hope Chess) to higher level play (Real chess).
		Heisman teaches practical skills youll need to progress beyond a novice level: instant pattern recognition; making a material advantage count, and other stuff more advanced books take for granted and therefore never explain.

	2004 Heisman Trophy Winner - Matt Leinart - USC

		Heisman has not been too kind to QBs in the NFL since the 60's and 70's, eh?
		I'm glad he has since put those Heisman voters in their place.

		As she says, "it was clear up to the point where exchanging a rook for a bishop gave an advantage of 1 3/4".
		To me, using Heisman's values (I still prefer Berliner's though) trading the minor piece for a rook and I would be simply 5 - 3.25 = 1.75 points (haha) to the better.
		Reading the article, I have come away with the knowledge that, all things being equal, winning the exchange isn’t quite as good a deal as I used to think it was and that the queen is a bit stronger than Reinfeld’s numbers suggest.

		Look matt leinhart and vince young are both desreving but if the heisman doesn't go to bush this year, they might as just say that this a piece of garbage trophy, and the writers should be disgraced.
		Dan you should stick with the NFL games cause you know nothing about college football or you just watch the ESPN highlights and think you can comment on that.

		In his Introduction, Dan describes why you should consider playing these lines and explains at length how the computer analysis was generated (he does more than just let Fritz run in "Infinite Analysis" mode on set positions).
		And Dan Heisman has gone to great lengths to ensure that his analysis is correct, so you can play them with confidence.

		I think Heisman's discussion of the Kaufmann values was mostly to illustrate that using Reinfeld’s values can be a bit misleading at times.
		However as Heisman pointed out in his first point, Identify your weaknesses, I'm finding it very hard to identify what I'm doing wrong.
		in the last diagram of Heisman's last article, I'm not exactly certain that his suggested moves of Bc3, Kg6 e7+ Bb4# are the kind of thing he talks about in the rest of the article.
