Notes: From the Author
"I had a dream! I was in 1991 and I thinked that I will can write a book! this was so hard to write with my hands the first words. I needed wait by 1 year and half to can write the complete chess game that is inside of my text. And as so long time after I don't had resources to go ahead! But in 2005 I found Outskirts Press, Inc., I submitted my text and when my text was approved I was so happy! Then we work so hard in my text that it has 100 pictures! I had all support of Outskirts team and now my book is published!! And they don't stop here, now they are supporting me with a Marketing Coach and all steps following for my promotional fase. I'm so glad with the Check Mates partnership. Thank you!"
