Thank you, Arthur, The second book title from your list: *My System, *by Aron Nimzovisch. is available here in Russian translation - I see it in the local online book-store (used). The other two aren't. As for backgamon - I like "short" version of this game for its dynamics. Thank you. -- Shamil Thursday, July 4, 2013 8:07 PM -04:00 from Arthur Fuller <fuller.artful at gmail.com>: >There are only three great books about chess, written in the previous >century.
