And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

CHESS TRAINING GAME 1

This is a training position from a Chessbase Opening Encyclopedia. It gives the question; "Black`s King is still in the center, how can white exploit this?"

What makes it interesting is the fact the recommendations given when the game was published may not be the best according to the latest engines. So you have to work it out yourself.  It is not simply a "find mate in three or four" position.

White may have one or two best moves in every continuation!

The postion is from a real game but I have not given the players or location.

A HUMAN DRAMA

This is a well known game annoted by Gary Kasparov. It is taken from a Chessbase Opening Encyclopedia database. At one point in the commentary it is described as "a human drama!"

Rybka lost on time. This was another 15 minute game.

Shredder Mobile seems like an excellent purchase for club players like me.
