It may be that Gambit is too paranoid in this matter but I can understand them. There are far too many chessbook pdfs for free download. Many of these probably were paid for as one copy at a time.<br /><br />I assume that some time in the not too distant future there will be arrangements so that those with the copyrights receive their share. That will save a lot of trees.Sverre Johnsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00796086172553035906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097677957983331811.post-10885187820706954862010-04-23T14:47:49.613+01:002010-04-23T14:47:49.613+01:00Any change there's a .PDF version I can purcha...Any change there's a .PDF version I can purchase?Eric Kramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13150068854735194487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097677957983331811.post-46841864232077757322010-04-23T03:50:41.386+01:002010-04-23T03:50:41.386+01:00Sadly the book is not available on US amazon yet.

I like the futuristic impression. However, I may agree that the Stonewall cover was even better.Sverre Johnsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00796086172553035906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097677957983331811.post-37863325318823097772010-04-05T11:08:21.315+01:002010-04-05T11:08:21.315+01:00It wasn't in the Chess & Bridge shop in Ba...It wasn't in the Chess & Bridge shop in Baker Street (London) on Saturday, but maybe by next Saturday?<br />Tim SpantonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097677957983331811.post-6683632156177220862010-04-05T11:02:02.973+01:002010-04-05T11:02:02.973+01:00Then, what is "new and enlarged" about t...Then, what is "new and enlarged" about this edition?
