Happy holidays!

End of year 2020

I wish everyone a happy holiday and a happy new year in 2021.  Earlier this year, I published my "Queen For A Day: The Girl's Guide To Chess Mastery" book on Amazon.com.  I highly recommend buying this book for beginners.  I wrote this book to inspire more girls and women to play chess.  Do you need more inspiration to play chess?  If so, I encourage you to watch the "Queen's Gambit" TV show on Netflix.  I saw all episodes and I liked it!  Beth, who is the main character in the "Queen's Gambit" learns chess from a janitor.  Beth becomes a chess prodigy.
