Book Description

Charlie Noble's life changed forever when the white King from his dad's chess set swept him onto the giant chess board to learn the Game. As the Queen once told him, though, you never stop learning.

Two years have passed, and now Charlie is locked in a tough match against his archrival Hannah York in the Midtown Junior Chess Tournament. Before he can relish his come from behind win, he is once again summoned to the world of the jumbo chess pieces.

Things are different this time. There's a mystery to solve – strangers are nearing the board, and both Kings want answers. And somehow, Hannah has traveled to the giant chess world with him.

Together they must face the unknown, find a way to deal with their own differences, and ensure that the Game of chess remains safe.

What they discover is whether they reach their goals or not, nothing will ever be the same …

The Seirawan Factor introduces Seirawan chess to souls who seek adventure. Meet the Hawk, who moves as a combination Bishop-Knight, and the Elephant, who moves as a combination Rook-Knight. These ancient chess pieces continue to be revived by Grandmasters past and present who prefer over the board play above memorization and computer-tested lines.

Learn the true history of chess. Energize your Game.

  • American Chess Art
    There is no longer any excuse for study enthusiasts familiar with the contemporary scene to remain uninformed, as I admit to have been myself, about the development of composition on the other side of the Atlantic. All is now revealed by the man most competent to do so. Walter Korn, for many years the leading American endgame columnist, traces the evolution of the endgame study. Walter Korn writes with feeling. He shares the suffering and elation of those he writes about. He has been through it all himself and his descriptive writing stems from a deep love of his subject and of the work of his compatriots. A warm hearted book." - an excerpt from a review by C.M. Bent in the British Chess Magazine.

  • Essential Chess Endings Explained Move By Move - VOLUME 2
    Smith: "Have you studied Volume 1 by Silman? If you have not, you are wasting your time and my time. You must have the basics he covers. Basics are everything. Basics are to build on. The difference between strong endgame players and weak ones is not rating strength, but rather a lack of basic knowledge, and maybe even a lack of will and perseverance. This 2nd and final volume will take you to endgame Master strength. Take your board and men and set up each of the 275 positions and work through every move. I explain each White and each Black move so you know what is happening from each side of the board. As White with the advantage you must learn how to win a won position, and as Black with a bad position, you must learn to put up a fight - such a fight to give you a chance to draw or even win. I teach you this endgame technique in 298 pages."
