This book, because it was family, because he was my best friend, and because he loved president kennedy, i felt that i owed it to him to do the kind of book that he would have done. And consequently you wont find anything too negative in this book at all. I think, it is, it shows my affection for family, and it shows his great affection for the kennedys, but there are parts of it that make you think, i mean, for instance, Jacqueline Kennedy lost many children, two or three miscarriages. She went into severe depression at one point and had electroshock therapy. And you begin to understand why the kennedys through themselves into mental health. Because rosemary kennedy, one of president kennedys sisters, also had electroshock therapy and it never worked and it was always a heartache for ambassador kennedy and for his wife. So there are poignant parts of this book, but it is for the most part a love story. And i hope you like it. [applause] thank you very much. Visit booktv. Org to watch
Some of these opening proposals are solid and safe, but you also find interesting, double-edged gambits.
Robert Ris recently presented such a gambit:
1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 d6 6. Nd5!?.
But can White really play this way – moving the knight twice before completing his development and neglecting to defend e4?
At any rate, some strong players, including Jorden van Foreest and Alexey Shirov, have recently made use of this idea in various online tournaments and achieved some success with it.
The ChessBase Magazine editorial team now had the idea that the authors of opening contributions should put their proposals to the test by taking part in a thematic tournament against ChessBase Magazine subscribers. Play the Author is the motto.
