I'm a software engineer with a long standing interest in Chess and Chess history. I am currently working on a series of Chess books, using Stockfish for analysis. My output so far consists of: (1) 2024: "Paul Morphy: Selected Games", which covers Morphy's career through 118 of his games. The book includes annotations by Morphy's contemporaries, along my own, thus providing an interesting view into how Morphy's games were perceived during his time. I've also included many testimonials about Morphy and the events surrounding his Chess encounters. (2) 2024: A new edition of Emanuel Lasker's "Common Sense in Chess". The content has been reorganized to make it easier to search and to make it easier to track the context of each variation. I've also made many annotations that correct or augment Lasker's comments. All of these are available as e-books on Amazon. At some point, I will also make them available on Google Play and I will format them for printing, but for the moment, I am focusing on releasing content in e-book format. It takes me time to put a book together and I would like to cover at least three more subjects, so 2025 will be a busy year. Why am I doing this work? I'd rather have someone else do such research, so I could then just pay them for the result, because this would be cheaper for me. But I don't see anyone else undertaking this effort. Most of the new editions of classic content only change the notation from descriptive into algebraic, and don't even get this completely right. So I decided to try and do such work myself and then put it out there for anyone else who, like me, wants Chess content with fewer mistakes and with updated analysis.
