What is a Chess Variant?There are some quite interesting games played with a chessboard and pieces apart from chess. This is a not too serious look at these so-called chess variants. Some of them can be played on the Internet Chess Servers.Here is an overview of some of them, including my favourites. Some have very different rules than chess. Others have only a single rule change.Why learn about Variants?Playing a variant can be a light hearted form of entertainment after playing competitive chess.Some are easy to play, some can be highly complex. Some variants have instructional value, especially for juniors. Some variants help teach the abilityto see ahead and see around. Types of Chess VariantsSome use all or some of the standard chess pieces. This book will mostly concentrate on those variants which use a standard chess board and do not need non-chess pieces. There are many variants which use different types of boards. Some are not square. For example, they may be rectangular or Cross-shaped.A few are square though smaller than 8x8, while others are larger. This book will concentrate on variants you can play with a normal chessboard and set. In some cases an additional board or pieces are needed. You will not need to create new types of pieces or boards. Most variants are two player games. Some are solitaire games, while others are multi-player. Some variants require a lot of skill while others are much simpler than standard chess. Some variants have a chance element.Overview of RulesThis is not an encyclopedia of the all the many chess variants.Many of the variants have variations in the rules. This book is not a reference of the rules.It is an overview of variants I have learned, mostly from word of mouth. Included are: rules tips and some sample games of some of the more interesting chess variants. There are many clear colour diagrams.Look InsideYou can click on Look Inside to read the first 10% of this book.However keep in mind the look inside displays gaps which do not appear in the complete version.

Larry Kaufman can safely be called an exceptional chess grandmaster Larry Kaufman started out as a prodigy, however not in chess but as a whizz kid in science and math. He excels at shogi (Japanese chess) and Go, and is also a world-famous computer programmer and a highly successful option trader. Remarkably, as a chess player he only peaked at the weirdly late age of fifty. Yet his victories in the chess arena are considerable. Over a career span of nearly sixty years Kaufman won the state championships of Massachusetts, Maryland, Florida, Virginia, D.C. and Pennsylvania. He was an American Open Champion and won the U.S. Senior Championship as well as the World Senior Championship. ‘Never a great chess player’ himself (his words), he met or played chess greats such as Bobby Fischer, Bent Larsen, Walter Browne, Boris Spassky, Viktor Kortchnoi and many others. He worked as a second to legendary grandmaster Roman Dzindzichashvili, and coached three talented youngsters to become International Master, one of them his son Raymond. This engrossing memoir is rife with stories and anecdotes about dozens of famous and not-so-famous chess players. In one of the most remarkable chapters Larry Kaufman reveals that the American woman chess player that inspired Walter Tevis to create the Beth Harmon character of Netflix’s The Queen’s Gambit fame, is his former girlfriend. You will learn about neural networks, material values and how being a chess master helps when trading options. And find lots of memorable but little-known annotated games.

The USSR is famous as the first totalitarian state to promote chess. Less well known is that Nazi Germany was the second. The Third Reich gave chess a tremendous financial and propaganda boost in hopes of making Germany a dominant chess power. Yet this aspect of the Nazi era has received scant attention in later German literature, and even less in English. This book fills that gap. Using a multitude of German sources, the author has crafted a narrative showing how the Nazis completely remade German chess into a monolithic structure to showcase the supposed cultural and intellectual superiority of the "master race." Many games by German masters are presented--Bogoljubow, Richter, Samisch, Rellstab, Kieninger, Junge, and more--and by others who came under Nazi rule: Alekhine, Keres, Eliskases, et al. Important political figures are featured: Otto Zander, Erhardt Post, Hans Schemm, Josef Goebbels, and especially Hans Frank. Politics affecting chess are detailed, both external (e.g., the annexations of Austria and Czechoslovakia) and internal (rivalry between the Grossdeutscher Schachbund and Kraft durch Freude), as of course are the effects of the war and persecution of Jews.

A NEW YORK TIMES TOP 10 BESTSELLER ‘A fascinating, mind-blowing and deeply intelligent book that should be recommended reading for every person on our planet’ SCARLETT CURTIS ‘Laura Bates puts out books that perfectly describe growing problems and possible solutions. She's a proper hero at the coal mouth’ CAITLIN MORAN 'Brilliantly fierce and eye-opening' OBSERVER ________________________________________________________ The extremism nobody talks about And how it affects us all Imagine a world in which a vast network of incels and other misogynists are able to operate, virtually undetected. These extremists commit deliberate terrorist acts against women. Vulnerable teenage boys are groomed and radicalised. You don't have to imagine that world. You already live in it. Perhaps you didn’t know, because we don’t like to talk about it. But it’s time we start. In this urgent and groundbreaking book, Laura Bates, bestselling author and founder of The Everyday Sexism Project, goes undercover to expose vast misogynist networks and communities. It’s a deep dive into the worldwide extremism nobody talks about. Interviews with former members of these groups and the people fighting against them gives unique insights on how this movement operates. Ideas are spread from the darkest corners of the internet – via trolls, media and celebrities – to schools, workplaces and the corridors of power, becoming a part of our collective consciousness. Uncensored, and sometimes both shocking and terrifying – this is the uncomfortable truth about the world we live in. And what we must do to change it. _________________________________________________________ ‘Passionate and forensic, Bates produces a powerful feminist clarion call. The world needs to take notice. Things must change’ ANITA ANAND ‘This is how change is made: by looking at uncomfortable things directly in the eye and not turning away. This book is a rallying cry to end suffering, for both women AND men’ EMMA GANNON ‘Laura Bates is showing us the path to both intimate and global survival’ GLORIA STEINEM

Rafe ffoxe-Gentry, a snooty, upper-class Englishman working for GTG, a crooked multinational based in the mythical Australian state of Galahnia, is a rakish womaniser, whose nightly Got Laid Parades terminate abruptly when he falls for his Russian wife's beautiful and eccentrically brilliant young niece, Venetia. Put in charge of a visiting delegation of Russians negotiating a commercial agreement between GTG and the USSR, with Venetia as interpreter, Rafe finds the Soviet delegates more interested in booze, nightclubs, and women than in discussions. During negotiations in Singapore, the riotous behaviour of the sozzled Soviets leads to threatening Cold War complications, major disaster being narrowly averted by Venetia's ingenuity. Rafe returns triumphantly home, only to find himself in even greater trouble as the situation becomes unexpectedly perilous, homicidal and dismayingly revelatory. His affair with Venetia, once wildly sexual and heart-breakingly romantic, now degenerates into a series of despairing battles between love and hate. In turn sensual, brutal, satirical and witty, this riotous black comedy depicts the greed, corruption and madness of the H-bomb eighties, and spares no one, including its madcap hero, in its scathing portrait of an era as unrestrained and vicious as it was violent and grasping.
