Math
Unfortunately (for this site) I’ve been really busy lately with math research. The chapter with 13.Kb1 in the Soltis is still in the works. I have the historical summaries of 13…Re8 and 13…a6!? done (transposing to the modern main line and the Carlsen Variation, respectively), mostly showing some sample recent games and why White looks better, as well as a few random novelties. Perhaps interesting to anybody who plays White in these positions. My recommendation is definitely 13…Nc4!. The one major line I’ve got left to cover is 14.Bxc4 Rxc4 15.Nb3, 15.Nde2 looking pretty harmless. Perhaps when the math slows down I’ll get back to this.

Hi!
What kind of math research do you do? I’m just curious. I’m doing math research as well (just finished my PhD) and I’m in algebra.
Bye the way, your dragon ebook is pretty great! Good quality and well written!

Thanks! My math research is mostly in commutative rings. At the moment I’m working on things related to factorization (mostly in integral domains), ideal theory, star operations, etc. I just started the research recently, and was also working a lot on preparing for my PhD comprehensive exam, which I fortunately passed about a week ago. The next two years will be mostly spent writing my thesis, and then I’ll be done.
Perhaps in the next week or so I’ll finish up the chapter I’ve left hanging forever, since I’ve now got a couple weeks off from school duties.
