Hello group,

This is not spamming! I'm a normal guy, just like you, who simply wants to
offer something useful to the chess playing community on the Internet.
Sounds like spamming? I'm sorry. Anyway, I have the following chess books I
would like to sell, or exchange for backgammon books. Those are great books,
all paperback, but in mint condition, and I'm only getting rid of them due
to space problems.

1. The Complete Chess Player, by Fred Reinfield. 292 pages. This is a
reprint whose original was published back in 1953. It includes every aspect
of chess, from the opening to the end-game. Good for all players. Hard to
find. US$ 10.

2. Beginning Chess Play, by Bill Robertie. 144 pages. That's where I learned
most of what I know about chess. I love Robertie's writing style! Everything
is explained crystal clear. There are 2 sample games with diagrams after
every move, so the student won't get lost along the way. Great book!
Recommended for beginners. US$ 9.95

3. Master Checkmate Strategy, by Bill Robertie. 152 pages. Bill is the
champion of speed chess, and 2 times winner of the Monte Carlo tournament
(backgammon). This book teaches all kinds of mates, even those really cool
ones. Learn to crush opponents! Good for all players. US$ 9.95

4. Play Winning Chess, 222 pages. Good for beginners. US$ 9.95
5. Winning Chess Tactics, 254 pages. Beginners-intermediate. US$ 9.95
6. Winning Chess Strategies, 257 pages. Advanced. US$ 9.95

These 3 books are written by Grandmaster Yasser Seirawan. His writing style
is kind funny, and there is a great deal of information in each and every
page. At the end of each chapter, there are problems to test what you've
learned (reminds me of school... YUCK!!!!), and the answers. These last 3
books form a great collection which also includes a 4th book called "Winning
Chess Brilliancies" (which I don't have) that includes lots of annotated
matches.

I'll take checks or money orders drawn from a U.S. Bank. If you wanna send
cash, **DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK** You might wanna try it and wrap a sheet of
paper around it to make it less obvious in the envelope, but I still won't,
and can't be held responsible for stolen money sent over snail-mail.

Since I'm selling these books at an extremely low price, shipping charges
are not included.

If you buy more than 1 book, I might even consider a discount. Hint: if you
buy more than 1 book, shipping is cheaper than if you buy the same books at
different times.

If you buy them all as a bunch, I will make you a good discount!

If you want to exchange them for backgammon books, e-mail me the name of the
books you're willing to trade and I'll tell you if I'm interested. IF YOU
HAVE "BACKGAMMON" by PAUL MAGRIEL (any edition, any binding), I might even
give you one of the above books as an extra free gift for that book!!!!

If you're interested, please do not hesitate to e-mail me at candrade@wt.net
and I'll give you the address to which you'll send the payment.

By the way, I live in Houston, TX. If you live close to me, we can arrange
to meet in person, so you save on shipping, and get the books sooner :-)

Thank you for your time, folks.

RODRIGO
