Apr-12-04 | | Phoenix: For anyone who seriously wants to get better, GM Jonathan Tisdall's book "Improve Your Chess Now" is a must. He suggests good ways to train yourself. |

Apr-12-04 | | Bitzovich: Yep, i have that book, its really good, although the guy is a bit of eccentric.. |

Jan-20-05 | | JamesKnight: Aren`t all chessplayers a bit ecentric? |
|
Jun-12-05 | | aw1988: <JamesKnight> Yes.
Tisdall is a wonderful author in my opinion. |

Feb-24-06 | | fred lennox: Improve your chess now is an excellent book. I highly recommend it. As a guinea pig, it worked for me. not only did i become stronger as a player, i feel my rate of improvement is steadier. It is, in a way, a complement to Think like a grandmaster by Kotov. In my opinion, it is not a substitute for the book for the serious student but has the advantage of hindsight and latter games. The book is to Kotov's book what Keene's Reappraisal is to My System. |

Oct-03-06 | | Chessbum1: I first met Tisdall back in '73 in Syracuse NY. He was just a teen, and I was truly impressed by his quick sight of the board, and blitz chess. |

What a checkered past! American, then Irish, then Norwegian. With Japanese ancestry mixed in. Today's puzzle shows his amazing insight:
L Ogaard vs J D Tisdall, 1987 where finding move 32...Nxd5 was inspirational. |

Sep-19-22 | | stone free or die: "That"?!
Again, a bit cryptic <Missy>, could you elaborate a little for your readers, please? This "that", from <Knighthawkmiller> is indeed Tisdell: https://ugra2017.fide.com/2017/06/2... The other "that", is from <CG> - see above (currentlY), is not Tisdell: https://www.chessgames.com/f/13939....
How does <CG> get this stuff wrong, one wonders? (Or wonder not, it being a general wonder so often). |
