(Note: "ANOTHER 100 Chess Problems for the Rest of Us" released in September 2011)
Tired of chess problems that are (often incredibly) way “over your head”?
The fact of the matter is that too many chess books are written for the higher echelons of the chess playing world. Even if not designed strictly for those in the Grandmaster status, too many chess books are designed for players that make up only the top 10% to 15% of the chess playing world. (Players who can think a good 7-10 moves ahead in any given game.)
This book is for the other 85% of us -- "The Rest of Us."
The book includes 100 Chess Problems for Novice/Intermediate players that -- while challenging the reader -- will never be leaps and bounds above the reader’s capabilities.
The book is filled with hundreds of graphs and long, narrative explanations that will not only show the reader the answer to the problem, but EXPLAIN the answer.
Designed strictly for them, all intermediate players will learn from this book and sharpen their chess playing skills.

The ChessCafe Puzzle Books! We are pleased to offer excerpts from three of the most popular chess books available today. They are The ChessCafe Puzzle Books 1 and 2 by German grandmaster Karsten Müller and Book 3, also by Müller, and in cooperation with Dutch international master Merijn van Delft. All three books are available in both traditional, hard copy and electronic editions. The original books are published in figurine algebraic notation, with Informant-style evaluation symbols. For this Puzzle Sampler, we have converted the notation to simple English algebraic and replaced the Informant-style evaluation symbols with text. The ChessCafe Puzzle Book 1 combines clear discussions of tactical themes with over 600 well-chosen positions to test, challenge and teach. Although the classic combinations are not ignored, the great emphasis is on positions from modern tournament practice of the last decade. From CCPB1, four puzzles with different tactical themes (please note that the actual numbering of the puzzles has been changed for this Kindle edition). It is Black to move in Puzzles 1 and 2, White to move and Puzzles 3 and 4. Solutions are immediately after the four puzzles. The ChessCafe Puzzle Book 2 takes on the more difficult and less tangible aspect of positional play. As most chess instructors and players know, it is much more difficult to teach and learn strategic concepts than tactics. The author not only presents puzzles to solve, but also presents examples of different strategic ideas. Here is an excerpt from the section about Outposts. One of the most important skills a chessplayer needs is the ability to defend a position that is under siege. In the third volume in the highly acclaimed, best-selling ChessCafe Puzzle Book series, international grandmaster Karsten Müller, along with international master Merijn van Delft, examines and expounds upon the vital defensive concepts and techniques used to repulse enemy attacks. From CCPB3, three puzzles with different themes (please note that the actual numbering of the puzzles has been changed for this Kindle edition). It is Black to move in all three puzzles. Solutions are immediately after the three puzzles. |

Chess (the "Game of Kings") is a board game for two players, which requires 32 chesspieces (or chessmen) and a board demarcated by 64 squares. Gameplay does not involve random luck; consisting solely of strategy, (see also tactics, and theory). Chess is one of humanity's more popular games; it is has been described not only as a game, but also as both art and science. Chess is sometimes seen as an abstract wargame; as a "mental martial art". |

What can you play on a "simple" e-book reader? Games on the Kindle? There are already some in this shop. But I interpreted the idea with the "on the Kindle" very literally.
In this eBook you will find the fields of popular board games (Chess, Nine Men's Morris, Checkers, Backgammon, Ludo, etc.). This gives you the possibility to convert your e-ink reader, the Kindle, at home or while traveling into a game board. Very simple. Always available. The games are pure fun, classics and sociable. These are no computer games. You need to have a few small playing pieces or chessmen. Or you and your fellow players improvise. Suitable are buttons, beans, pieces of wood, paper, etc. Just anything that does not leave any dirt or scratches on the screen.
This is a special edition with customized graphics for Kindle devices (Kindle is a trademark of Amazon.com Inc.). But these game boards work on tablet computers, such as the iPad, as well. Users of the Kindle reading apps on Apple, Samsung, LG, etc. can have pure fun, too.
Invite your family and friends to the classic board game. It is a surprising and beautiful example of how versatile the Kindle can be. It just depends on what you do with it.
The game boards:
1. Chess and Checkers
2. Nine Men's Morris
3. Backgammon
4. Halma & Chinese Checkers
5. Ludo (2 versions)
6. Tic Tac Toe
As a bonus you can find a couple of mazes in the eBook. They are pure fun games, too. And I tell you how to disable the screen saver on the Kindle device in order to avoid interruptions while playing the board games.
Attention please: This is not a collection of computer games. These are the classic game boards for two or more players. Some people think it is silly to play like this on the Kindle. Others think it's cool. What's your opinion? Buy it and you can experience your Kindle as great devices for pure gaming fun.
