Here's what others are saying about Chess
101:
"Whether you want to know anything from setting up the board
and moving the pieces, to the rules and etiquette of the game, to
competing in your first tournament, you’ll find it all and
much more in Chess 101. Dave has given us a delightful introduction
to the royal game. Enjoy and learn!"

"It doesn't seem possible with all of the chess books available today, that a small brief beginner's guide could fill any unmet need, yet this little book is worth a beginner's attention - whether adult or child - either on one's own or in a beginner's class."
Georgia
Chess Magazine

"Chess 101 stands alone among chess books for beginners because
of its clarity and organization. In Chess 101, Dave Schloss
moves seamlessly from the board setup and piece description, to the
moves and relative values of the pieces, to chess notation, and then
on to elements of chess strategy. This work fills a void as the beginner's
book of choice, for chess students grade four or older, through adult,
who want authoritative information. The reader will also learn all
about how to get started in chess tournaments and how to get more
involved in the fascinating game of chess."
Michael Rohde Grandmaster
and former U.S. High School Champion,
U.S. Junior Champion and U.S. Open Champion

"The moment I opened Chess 101, I knew Dave
had accomplished something great: a truly simple guide to learning
and enjoying the game. Many attempt this feat, but few beginner
chess manuals really succeed in keeping things simple while highlighting
the best parts of the game of chess!"

"A fun and easy-to-read book that puts years of insight into one volume. From how the pieces move, to basic rules, etiquette, getting ready to play in your first tournament and more, this book is the doorway into the world of chess. It's a book I wish I had when I was a beginner. It should be everyone's first chess book!"

"I very much enjoyed reading Chess 101. I found it to be just what the parents of upcoming chess giants need: a clear explanation of the rudiments of the game. It also takes the mystery out of the tournament environment, chess clocks, en passant and other aspects of chess that often confuse new players. Great job!"
