Do you have any idea of where to find <i>Konigsgambit am Ende?</i>. I googled it and the only 2 results directed me back here. Anyway, that was a good bibliography, it's just our bad luck that J. Gallagher never re-edited his brilliant <i>Winning with the King's Gambit</i>, for we could sure use some of his analysis on the Adelaide/Miles.Fegatellohttp://fegatello.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12844144.post-35879422363489806302009-07-01T05:21:07.349-04:002009-07-01T05:21:07.349-04:00I liked chess a lot, but finding the right partner...I liked chess a lot, but finding the right partners is diffuclt and playing against a computer is less interesting.rinoplastiahttp://www.larinoplastia.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12844144.post-42280028354321754432008-04-29T07:48:00.000-04:002008-04-29T07:48:00.000-04:00That is really interesting.

So few people realize the way names, let alone grammar rules and words develop over time. Consider for instance the use of “their.” People don’t typically say, “Everyone drove his or her car to the party.” Instead, they insert “their,” which is – at least for now – wrong. This makes it incredibly hard for me to teach this rule to beginning writers. If, however, more people understood WHY we tend to substitute this incorrect pronoun, it would be far easier for them to correct. The fact is, it all has to do with political correctness and the fact that the time came when “Everyone drove HIS car to the party” simply wasn’t acceptable. If you ever get tired of tracing chess move origins, you should consider a career as a linguist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
