Will swap nagging wife for any chess book.

Is there an English version of Tarrasch's Hypermodern Chess?

I have heard there is a bootleg version in in English.

Anybody got any comments on the new MY SYSTEM.
I've not read it yet.

I read a very good review of the new My System. Can't remember where, but it basically said that the new one is much closer to the original than the old one.
I have Shirov's Best Games in the Sicilian if anyone wants to do a short term swap for another DVD. Am interested in Kasparov's Najdorf 1 and 2. I have the 3rd which is brilliant, and would like to see the first two.

Used to know a German student who played for Bells.

He was appalled at the English translation of My System.

Anybody got Heindenfield's DRAW!.

If so tell me what you want - I'll have it or will get it.

I cannot read German - that is why I sit and stare at the cover of
the untranslated German Tarrasch Book.

If you want I will swap it for any book in any language you
cannot understand.
