VISHY’S VICTORY |
|
|
|
The World Championship Tournament in Mexico City
concluded only last Saturday. Within a week, the first book on it has
appeared - and Impala is the publisher! The authors are our own Ray Keene,
Steve Giddins and Julian Simpole. "Vishy's Victory" is available direct from
Impala at £20-00 (including p&p). Order by email from - The book can be purchased as well from the London
Chess Centre and BCM and other
outlets. Julian Simpole is an official FIDE organiser who played
top board for Sussex for many years. Julian was present in Mexico and
provides on-the-spot reports. Grandmaster Ray Keene was, perhaps, the first see the
oppotunities created by computer technology in chess publishing. Formerly
players had to wait months, even years, to see a tournament book. Computers
revolutionised publishing and made it possible to telescope the entire
process into a few days. Keene invented the 'instant book' and this effort is
perhaps the most spectacular of all his achievments. Steve Giddins is a FIDE master, journalist and author.
This summer Steve wrote the daily reports for both the Staunton Memorial
Tournament and the Liverpool UK-China match. Steve provided notes, he edited
and type-set the whole. A remarkable co-operation! Return
