Two New Chess Monographs!


I'm pleased to announce that I've published my two new chess monographs today! "Queen's Pawn Game: Gedult Attack" explores this chess opening: "1. d4 Nf6 2. f3 d5 3. g4". The author has played 56 completed chess games where he won 51 games, lost 4 games, and drew 1 game.

"Indian Defence: Omega Gambit" explores another chess opening: "1. d4 Nf4 2. e4". The author has played 62 completed chess games where he won 57 games, lost 4 games, and drew 1 game.

These chess monographs are published in two different formats: Kindle eBooks and Paperbacks on the Amazon websites. I hope you will enjoy them!

Did you know that ...

... you can buy Paperback version of my Kindle eBooks on the Amazon websites? Last December, I have been offered an opportunity to publish my chess monographs (which were being sold as Kindle eBooks in the last two years) as Paperbacks on the Amazon websites. In the past eight months, I've published 48 Paperbacks with at least 17 more Paperbacks for me to finish editing and publishing in the next few months. *scratching my head* I'm not sure how many revised or new Kindle eBooks I have to work on, too! Wish me luck!

Warning about Doobymedia.com

Hi, Folks!

     While I was surfing the Internet, I was quite surprised to find that this website, http://doobymedia.com, has been offering free eBooks or PDFs since the beginning of June 2016. It was owned by a mysterious company in United Kingdom. But their server was based in Ukraine, a high-risk country, for illegal or criminal activities. You can check it out by using this website called Scamadvisor.
   The reason is that I found at least 7 of my Chess eBooks, which are being sold by me on the Amazon websites around the world, are being offered as free eBooks for anyone to download from the Doobymedia website. What's the catch? This website will take you to another website, probably based in Netherlands, which will offer you a 30 day free trail (without any details about the fees) AFTER you submit your credit card or PayPal information. If anyone did that, then they will get scammed BIG TIME anytime!
     Anyway, I thought it would be a good idea to warn my customers or other interested parties not to fall for this Doobymedia scam. And I have already emailed the administrator of that website and advise him to remove my list of 7 chess ebooks as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will inform the legal representative of the Amazon company to take legal action against this website. But I seriousily doubt that the Doobymedia website really have my 7 chess ebooks on their server. After all, they are only after your credit card or PayPal information.
     Because of the Amazon's excellent reputation, I would rather sell my Chess eBooks on their Amazon websites! And I hope that you will agree with me. Cheers!

Updating my blog ...

Hi, Folks!

I'm updating my blog entries to help you determine which of my several old chess monographs are now being sold as Kindle eBooks on the Amazon websites around the world.

If a chess monograph doesn't have the following words "Now on Kindle!" after the title, then it will be converted and uploaded in the near future.

Since I've decided to sell only 1 new chess booklet at a time on eBay, it will be for a limited time (e.g. like 2 months) before being converted into a Kindle eBook. The latest chess monograph "King's Gambit Declined: Falkbeer Counter Gambit, 3. exd5 Variation" is currently being sold on the eBay websites around the world. Cheers!

Sorry about the delay ...

... The reason for the delay was that I had to take time off to focus on the repairs and the renovation of our house after the strong windy and long rainstorm blew off a few loose shingles off our roof and damaged our ceilings. The good news are that we have a new roof, new ceilings, and freshly painted walls. And we are quite pleased with the new look of our house. Okay, it is time to go back to work on converting the rest of my old chess monographs into the new Kindle eBooks!
