Tim Harding reviews new chess books coming up to Christmas

Wow, laws about how to title your chess book. So many chess books exaggerate in their titles that the authorities might need to build more jails. :unamused:

Hmm… It would be interesting to study the law itself against the context of UK product law in general.

But I’d disagree, since the book’s title was not, “How to Play Against Every Option in 1.d4”, or, “How to Play Against 1.d4: A Complete Repertoire”, or even, “How to Play Well Against 1. d4.” :wink:

Coming soon: My future bestseller, “How to Play Against 1. e4.” It consists of one page:

I once self-published a chess book called, “My Junk.”

Neil McDonald beat you to it, only his book is about the French.

Neil McDonald has a one page book about the French? Must read it, then, as I do terrible against the French and one page on how to play it would work well for my study schedule. “Du sublime au ridicule il n’y a qu’un pas,” Napoleon.

But I’ve revised my thinking… If I don’t have to have the best, or even correct, information it would do me better service to publish my one page book suggesting 1. …Nh6. :wink:
