My Chess Books

This is an introduction to some of the Kindle chess books I have written.

They are all available at Amazon. Some of them are available at Barnes&Noble and Apple.

Look Inside

At Amazon you can double-click on the cover to Look Inside the book. This allows you to sample the first 10% of a book. Line breaks which are in the full version, are removed in the Look Inside version.

All books use standard chess notation, which is short Algebraic notation.

Except for Chess Basics Made EasyIt is presumed the reader has familiarity with chess rules and Algebraic notation.

Diagrams

Most of the books have many clear colour diagrams. A few have black and white diagrams.

Paperbacks

Some of these are available as paperbacks at Amazon.
