Scrubber: I was in Gauteng in 97/98; shame to hear about Roosevelt Park. I haven't been back to South Africa since 2001, which is also a pity. I take it Melville is still the place to hang out.

'My art of analysis' is a small blue Cadogan version, which I think I got from a book shop up at Four Lane Ends... maybe we both got the same bad batch!

Chamaco: We might have to disagree on Chernev (his annotations annoy me), but we'll agree on everything else! I haven't seen 'Analysing to Win', but bought a Jacobs book to help my children learn the game and it definitely seemed to be the best on offer.
