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.

  • EBOOK - The Sniper
    Play ...g6, ....Bg7 and ...c5!
    The Sniper is a dynamic and universal opening weapon for Black which can be used against all mainline openings. Black's system of development with ...g6 and ...Bg7 initially allows White to occupy the centre but, in true hypermodern style, Black strikes back immediately with ...c5. The Sniper can lead to original or barely-known positions in which Black can strive for the initiative. It's also rich in move-order possibilities, with potential transpositions into Sicilian, King's Indian or Benko-type positions.
