This book, the Big Book of Combinations, was quite useful to me
personally, since I worked through the examples one by one (took, on
and off, several years). It inspired me to buy other combination books
(aside from Reinfield) including the Informant book of combinations.
What a spiteful, insular little group this is... is Kingston really
Winter? I bought Winter's book on historical exposes but have not yet
opened it. Winter is a stickler for detail. You could commend him.
And it raises the academic question: why is so much bile spilt over
chess? Because so little money is at stake. I mean, can you see your
kids becoming chess professionals (or any kind of 'sport'
professionals?)
