After a long winter, here is a new all-new chess ebooks compilation. As usual the
books were collected from various sources, notably Ru-Board, Lionroad Chess Forum,
Demonoid, eMule, Usenet, Russian and Spanish websites, personal aficionado blogs
etc. A warm thanks to all persons involved.
I checked the books one by one and did some editing myself. Not every book in this
compilation is totally "new". Sometimes an existing scan is improved with better
resolution, smaller size, cover, index, right page order, missing pages etc. And it
happens also that someone does a new scan from an existing book.
For the first time, I'm including a COMPLETE TUTORIAL ON HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN
CHESS EBOOKS. It consists of the program ScanKromsator 5.91 by "Bolega", with
accompanying help files by filchess and others. Also, don't miss Darkseed's 'How to
Make Ebooks for Dummies.pdf', a very instructive piece of work by a guy who created
dozens of chess books in top quality (and totally for free).
The books are written mainly in English, but also in other Western languages
(German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese). Books in Russian were included ONLY
when they can easily be understood by non-Russian speakers.
I didn't include any password-protected chess books from Caissa Lovers. Their logos
are enough advertising. This kind of thing infringes Demonoid's policy and is
against the spirit of free P2P sharing. I cannot agree with that.
