Hi Andy.
I've always enjoyed his Blog. The invesitgation into Alekhine's death
(was he chocked or did he choke) was well researched.
His latest effort. :Nikolai Krylenko: The Bastard who re-shaped World Chess' makes also good reading.
Much better than the normal fare.
OK it contains a naughty word.
You will hear worse when a player hangs his Queen.

Of course in posting this you will have given him more hits. =)
The bad news is some of you will realise;
"So that is where is Chandler gets some of his blog/articlce ideas from"
I did once toy with the idea a few years ago about reviewing a made up book called:
"Chess Traps for B*******" on the Corner but in the end pulled it.
(Though I did if I recall plug it on the ECF site.)
My object being to entertain rather than offend.
(though I sometimes get them mixed up.)
Perhaps a warning to go with the link that this may offend should be added
but I'd rather read his stuff than 99% of the other chess crap that is out there. (mine included.)
