GrandPatzerBase, The Smarter Than Smart, or Prolegomena To any Future Blogger Community: Essay 5.2

Today is a special day for me. But this is not a post about me. You all know how much I can talk about myself. It is a short but hopefully meaningful brief about the two posts by GrandPatzer's preceding his current post: Using ChessBase's "Repertoire Database" Feature, Part 1 and Using ChessBase's "Repertoire Database" Feature, Part 2. They are remarkably helpfull.

We have all heard of ways to build a repartore; we have all heard of ways to use Bookup. And whether or not he provides the final word on top of Steve Lopez's fine essays (both at chess Base.com [1] then latter at chessCafe.com) for aspiring class B's, nascent class C's, or A's looking for new polish, is beyond me.

If I could ask one tiny favor of all of you, every single one of you, it is to please drop by his blog and make a nice comment. That would be the finest birthday present anyone can give me today. He deserves our accolates and serinades. So far, outside of me, only one Knight or friend of a Knight has made a comment to him, that I am aware of [2]. Great chess, great blogging, great practical intelligence, that man, the creator of GrandPatzerBase and, for me, the provocator of uncanny chess database yearnings.

This short note or essay follows as an addendum to my previously writen: Prolegema, or Kant Help it: Wahrheit, Grand Patzer, Part II, whereby Essay Five is consolidated within or below Essay Six. Prolegomena To any Future Blogger Community, or ReAssembler, The Nimble Epicure: Essay Eleven was commenced on September the 16th, but is in draft, and other work must come first.

One little picture for me, for my birthday. GP, hope you don't mind!

[1. Conveniently summarized under Support, at chessBase, across a wide range of issues such as Fritz, ChessBase9, and Product Reviews, etc. From here, you can find all the rest of 'it']

[2. What is the saying, I think I saw at Reassembler's Blog: "What is a day in blogging without comments?"]
