	Amazon.com: How to Play The Middle Game in Chess: Books: John Littlewood (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		This book is for the advanced intermediate chess player.
		Littlewood rarely gives complete games, so it requires a lot of setting up of positions to follow his examples.
		It is possible that a stronger player (I'm only about 1300 USCF) would like this book, but I've heard it recommended for novices, and Littlewood even provides "hints for beginners" at the end of each chapter....

	Chessville - Editorials - Rose's Rants: Study - Whose Games? - by Tom Rose
		These players may be just the sort of opponent that I need, as they are perfectly capable of punishing the bad mistakes that players like me are making all the time, but by international standards they are weak, and their chess is still full of bad misconceptions and serious errors.
		The very best players back then were genuine super grandmasters, but many of the lesser masters of the time played a lot like today's strong amateurs though, it appears to me, with better tactical vision and more skill in calculation.
		As a chess player Eric was not especially strong, but he had good combinative vision, and he had some impressive wins against strong opponents.

	Chessville - Reviews - Chess Tactics - by Paul Littlewood - Reviewed by Mark Houlsby
		Many of the examples chosen by Littlewood are either strikingly similar to examples which have appeared in earlier works on tactics, or identical to examples published in earlier books.
		Another example of Littlewood's reproducing the already-laboured is that well-known Reti-Tartakower friendly which began as an unusual line of the Caro-Kann, and ended in short order with a Reti queen sac and a double check leading to mate...
		One is that Littlewood chooses a number of examples from his own career, which has the advantage that he knew what he was thinking when he played those games.

		If you follow the advice of strong players and diligently try to predict the next move in grandmaster games by covering the text and analysing, you will no doubt have asked yourself time after time: ‘what is wrong with my move/idea/plan?’ This book answers that question.
		It is described as an introduction for the learner and a refresher course for the club player, but it is a great deal more than that – it is a refreshment course, packed with the author’s infectious and boundless enthusiasm for the game.
		The chess tournament held in Paris in 1900 was one of the great chess events with most of the world’s leading players taking part.

		In fairness, Gufeld and Stetsko’s ‘The Chameleon Chess Repertoire’ for Chessco was at least about an original subject with original notes and examples, and thanks to the editor’s indefatigable efforts, both readable and proofread.
		Although the company’s output outside of Gufeld has been small, I should note that ‘Batsford’s Modern Chess Openings’ is a major, high-quality book; and while Suba’s ‘The Hedgehog’ suffers badly from a lack of editing, it is a creative effort by a fine player and writer.
		Then there is the fact that Hansen is one of the very best reviewers of chess books there is (see http://www.chesscafe.com), especially because he both questions the analysis in others’ books and supplies his own, a rare and time-consuming practice.

		Romanian chessplayer Mihail Marin is the World Chess Network’s not-so-little "Little Tal." For unlike John Littlewood, the English attacking master of a generation back who first earned the sobriquet "Little Tal," Mihail achieved the title of grandmaster in 1993.
		When Grandmaster Marin talks about the great players of the past, he is also describing his own attitudes toward chess and, perhaps, something about his own credo in life.
		For Grandmaster Marin is an example of the opportunities open these days for talented players who wish to seek careers in the fast-expanding world of the 64 squares.
