I posted the 3rd sample puzzle from my upcoming book, "Chess Puzzles for the Casual Player, Volume 1". The puzzle is posted at http://www.geocities.com/aachess. I welcome any comments about the puzzle (complementary and critical). The book will available at http://www.lulu.com/aachess hopefully by the end of September 2006. The book is 300 pages long and the price for the printed version will be $16.95.

Hi Kevin, Try rec.games.chess.misc and rec.games.chess.analysis. These seems like the right place, you should get some helpful feedback from there. Also since your book contains pictures for every move (something I would have loved when I was getting started) you might consider an advertisement in the kids version of chess life. I looked there for the kind of instruction you've shown on your web site. Where were you when I was rated 1300? All the best, Terry O'

I chose figurine notation since it allows people whose first language is not English to also follow the moves. Although it is not expanded notation you may still find it easy to follow since every move is illustrated by a board. Check out some of the samples and see what you think.

It's too hard for me to follow unless the notation is expanded. Does yours?
