Some one needs to tell Carter that a knight on the rim is dim.

I highly recommend John Watson's book Secrets of Modern Chess Strategy which among other things convincingly demonstrates that chess is no different from backgammon or any other sophisticated strategy game, in that all such "rules" have truckloads of exceptions. One of the best books on chess ever written.
