former World Chess Champion grandmaster Robert James Fischer

I have had a chess dream come true, meeting live with Bobby Fischer at the Revenge Match of the Century, in Sveti Stefan/Beograd 1992!!

I was introduced to Fischer by grandmaster Svetozar Gligoric, who had previously recommended me to the legendary late champion as his Chief Computer Assistant for the match!

Fischer signed three of my books on him, one of which, "My 60 Memorable Games", was my first chess book to read, after winning it at the Manhattan Chess Club (New York City, USA) junior tournament in 1978.

I was introduced to the prestigious Chess Club in the "Big Apple", where I had lived as a boy, from 1973-1977, by none other than the legendary - Edward Lasker, a family friend of my mother Verica.

Yahoo Chess Forum

Enter any forum or blog, moderated or not, "at your own risk".

"Blogs can be a source of precise, up-to-date and technically detailed information, presented by specialists and experts. Blogs are thus very valuable to info-hungry searchers, and are extremely popular... Blogs often operate in a free-for-all link structure that further validates the linked sites in search engine indexes.

Like blogs, forums can be a rich source of relevant information. Unfortunately, some forum participants make comments in forums only in an effort to publish links back to their own sites. This may be acceptable if the user provides help or assistance to another forum member. Indeed, they should gain credit for that information, which they may have worked hard to discover.However, when the posts become excessive and are comprised solely of glib or irrelevant comments, then value of the link, or indeed, the whole forum, can be put into question. Some forum owners only start forums in the hope that they will raise search engine rankings."
