Subject: A computer-database replacing chess books query
|
Do you think the computer and large databases of games will eventually
replace chess books? Personally I prefer a book and a real set in front
of me for study. Somehow that seems more like real learning than a
computer screen. But then I�m an old timer. A big selection of chess
books is always for sale on eBay. See http://tinyurl.com/2oxqmy for
instance. Usually they sell for bargain prices.

There has recently been a trend toward reissuing public domain
classics in CD or e-book format. The results have been rather mixed. A
few examples:

Several books are now being published in *both* formats.
