I am planning on buying Robin's book "Modern Chess Analysis" this week. Now what I found interesting was the so called Customers Review Section at Amazon on it.
Most of the comments and misconceptions are that the book teaches you how to cheat at chess using Computers. Anyway I thought that it might make for some entertaining light reading. I don't think that some of the reviewers have even read the book.
Also interesting was the differences in the laws for American correspondence chess and International correspondence chess when it comes to computer use.

Well i can highly recommend the book Ted
Robin explains how to use the computer as a tool to analyze positions and he details many of his wins that brought him two US Correspondence Chess Championships
he also discusses weakness's of Computer play at that time
i enjoyed the many references to our own CCC forum which he mentions quite often in the book

How could you possibly consider the purchase of a chess book without first reading its review at the best chess book reviewing source, Chess Cafe? It just so happens that I, a fellow correspondence chess player, reviewed this book there and recommend it highly.
