“Most chess books only sell a few thousand copies, and a book titled something like "Women in Chess" would sell even fewer. The idea with this title was to spread the book outside the competitive chess world. I'm interested in attracting readers who love chess but play only casually, and feminists interested in male-dominated fields.” WorldBookIdeasPlayFieldsReaderThousandSellsMalesFeministSpreadChessTitlesCopiesFewer Author:Jennifer Shahade

“There is no one 'best set-up', there are many - you can get to mate in endless ways. And - don't forget! - in chess, like in literature, "the other" (the reader, the adversary, the partner, etc.) has to be a collaborator, has to work with you to get to the final goal. We depend on them! But they also depend on us.” WayLiteratureGoalForgetDependsReaderFinalsPartnersChessEndlessEtcMatesAdversariesCollaborators Author:Dumitru Tepeneag
