Originally posted by Ragwort I don't suppose there were any of his CC games in there were there? I read some annotations online a few years ago that suggested he played more sharply than he liked to OTB.
Not that I can tell. The games are all of the strategic variety- plenty of exchange sacrifices and queen vs two pieces types of games, but the tactics in the book are all in the service of strategy.
He played some King's Gambits in CC, I believe, and they would be nice to see!

Give me Chess Informant any day! The middle and endgame problems in any Informant contain a treasure chest of information. Playing through the games of your chosen openings and defences will arm you with new weapons you can use. Playing through the annotations will give you a deeper understanding of the position. You don't need the latest edition to benefit from them either.
I would give an honorable mention to: Winning at Correspondence Chess by Tim Harding
