Buddhist Psychology & Championship Chess

I've promoted this comment to a full posting as it has a particular interest. Hello. I'm looking forward to reading Caroline's new book. I bought 'Buddhist Psychology' near the start of August 2004, in the Waterstones in Scarborough, before an important game in the British Chess Championship. I was feeling a little bruised that day after a defeat in the previous game, and I headed to Costa Coffee where I read for about three hours. I found the book life-affirming and uplifting, and it mometarily released me from all my ego-related concerns. I managed to get through that difficult day, and a few days later I became British chess champion for this first time.  More recently, I have been reading Zen Therapy by David, and thoroughly enjoying it.  Anyways, just wanted you to know that your work(both David's and Caroline's) has made a deep impression on me. Best wishes, - Jonathan Rowson.
