Something I've observed from newbies is they will ask sometimes ask questions they are clearly derived from books that are a quarter of a century or more old. A typical question would be "When I add the variant # to the speed rating then...........". If a book is more then say 5 years old, it's probably best to hold it with a little cynicism. The game has changed a great deal since Tom Ainsley and it's changing everyday. Reading the classics is to be encouraged but in reading them remember the game has changed and will continue to.
