Opening Moves Made Easy
Opening Moves Made Easy This book has many large clear colour diagrams. You do not need a chess set and board to read this book. It is designed to be read several times.

Adventures in Postal Chess
This is a book about some of my experiences of playing correspondence (also called postal) chess. It was a time when chess by email was new and chess engines were not as strong as they are now.

Although chess engines were around then, I won the event without using a computer. This book includes all my games from the championship.
