    Thumbs up Theodorovich and the KIA

    The Chess Canada webzine is now featuring a new article from IM Lawrence Day entitled Theodorovich and the KIA. I have only had a few moments to click thru it as I'm on my way out, but I will be back to it later for a more thorough read.

    The article is rich in diagrams, analysis, history, and Canadian content. Well done Lawrence.

    It is possible to include a pgn of these commented games or maybe even a Chessbase file.

    Lawrence D., where and how do you prepare your material?

    A 50+ games Theodorovich pgn file is in process. About a dozen are against Frank Anderson! People are welcome to add to it. The published games are often his losses with even big upsets like Browne (twice!) missing.

    I just use notepad but distinguish [DIAGRAM] from ---diag--- if in notes,
    but with this layout they're the same. Does that black pieces on blue squares come out legible if printed out in black and white?

    A pgn file of the illustrative games could easily be assembled if there is interest.

    Are the colours right in this:
