I've heard her say it before, this is the latest. 59:39 <br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ovl12b79tf4adampontinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07415951258958218739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-970746810324898604.post-70083416769377905822017-07-05T13:12:38.503+02:002017-07-05T13:12:38.503+02:00600 million is in fact our daily readership.600 million is in fact our daily readership.ejhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01582272075999298935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-970746810324898604.post-44114145246639578572017-07-05T04:01:25.340+02:002017-07-05T04:01:25.340+02:00Thanks for the plug.

We fully expect to sell another 600 million or so copies, now that our little teaching book is known to the international chess community.<br /><br />Unrelatedly, I went to grad school with Christian Hesse, a math professor who wrote the book of chess stories discussed <a href="http://andrewgelman.com/2015/08/03/the-plagiarist-next-door-strikes-back-different-standards-of-plagiarism-in-different-communities/" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Chrissy takes a softer line than you or I or Edward Winter do on copying others' work without attribution. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure that Chrissy is, like Ray Keene and Garry Kasparov, a much better player than I will ever be. You could wake up Chrissy at 3 in the morning, set him to play a game where he gets 5 minutes and I get an hour, give me knight odds--and he'd still thrash me.Andrew Gelmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02715992780769751789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-970746810324898604.post-10304309620886230222017-06-28T11:04:17.594+02:002017-06-28T11:04:17.594+02:00Taking the story a bit further, it would appear th...Taking the story a bit further, it would appear the management of the international chess body, the President at least, actually believe that extrapolated count and try to make policy decisions accordingly.<br /><br />http://en.chessbase.com/post/ilyumzhinov-announces-30-million-kirsan-fund-for-chess<br /><br />RdCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
