 Re: Chess Trivia 2 Book-With the least pages !
i know there is a book with only one sentence in it, it was "Be quiet" and the book's name was "how to watch a chess game" however, i believe it is not the least amount of pages because there were many blank pages, but probably least words

 Re: Chess Trivia 2 Book-With the least pages !
Hmm, his guess sounded nice....Chess related book with 2 words...true, chess players probably not the most talkative of all Curious what the solution will be. I have no idea.

 Re: Chess Trivia 2 Book-With the least pages !
i just googled it and found this webpage, seems like to be the whole book online, indeed this book is short, otherwise i do not think they would have posted the whole story up there. http://www.bobby-fischer.net/I_Was_Tort ... house.html

 Re: Chess Trivia 2 Book-With the least pages !
I think this thread could do with some context.
As an aside, but one fully in keeping with the largesse here imbued -
An author I know has just published a book of almost 600 pages. The catch? You get four (!) pages printed on per sheet.
Is it a boat or a ship guys?

 Re: Chess Trivia 2 Book-With the least pages !
If your lucky Greg, someone might explain to you why your last post was not pertinent, and makes you look like you do not understand it. To allude ideas during communication adds colour and deeper meaning, it should not be taken on plain text value. Take this as my Christmas gift to you. It is well intended on my part.

 Re: Chess Trivia 2 Book-With the least pages !
Please, I don't need any more gifts or STUFF ! Here's an idea for YOU !!! Instead of TRASH TALKING me, or anyone else, contribute to the game of chess. Teach kids how to play, which is what I will be doing. Give your time freely, by doing simuls, for a local chess club. Give lessons to others. CONTRIBUTE !!!! Master Greg
