Dvoretsky in December and January: Easy Reading!??
http://chessmind.powerblogs.com/posts/1197501204.shtml


   Usually Mark Dvoretsky's articles are designed to cause serious
   headaches, mental exhaustion, and improvement. But not the last two
   months! In December, [1]Dvoretsky's article was all advice, with
   nothing to solve. Instructive as always, but without the exhaustion!
   And [2]this month even the advice is gone, as he weighs in on a couple
   of (alleged) problems: bloodless draws and (primarily) the crushing
   weight of opening theory. I suspect his (tentatively offered) cure is
   worth than the disease - one that afflicts only super-GMs, in my
   opinion - but what do you think?
