How to Play Chess Like an Animal

Book excerpt: Why is this book unique? Many chess books are written to merely demonstrate how to play chess, the techniques and moves but NON describe the openings, moves and defenses in terms of animals the move resembles. None are beautifully illustrated to excite the senses as well as the intellect; it is not an ordinary chess book! The chess analysis is done in a unique story telling format. How to Play Chess Like an Animal is written to teach the game of chess to children and grown-ups in a playful and entertaining way. Though the chess skills a reader can acquire are authentic, the intent is to have fun while learning techniques that are a little silly and perhaps a bit unorthodox. Includes a Glossary of Terms, How to Read a Chess Game, How the Chess Pieces Move and whether it is better to play white or black! This book is suitable for the beginner as well as expert player. The unique teaching techniques and somewhat unorthodox openings are sure to hone your skills and boggle your opponent. ENJOY!
