    Your puzzles never fail to cheer me up. I have just been looking at the www.chesskingtraining.com site. Looks cool. Just going to order the CD set. Should finally get me on track to playing GM-level chess. Thanks for all you do Chess Queen. I am yet to meet a more approachable a more fan-sensitive world chess champion. Needless to add I LOVE YOU. (Bet millions others who love chess love you too.) Thumbs Up.
