Forward!: A Modern Chess Book for the Next Generation

By Antonio D Walthour

Some kids grow up being told they don't have a chance. Antonio Walthour was one of them. Foster home, the streets, prison, the works. Somewhere in all that mess, on a concrete jail floor with no table and no chairs, he learned chess. The game saved his brain when nothing else could.Forward is the chess book he wishes somebody had handed him at twelve. Every piece. Every move. Every trick. Every trap. Plus the lessons that live outside the 64 squares: about sacrifice, about patience, about pawns who walk all eight squares and become queens.

For kids 10 and up. Beginners welcome. Future kings and queens required. From the author of The Triumphant Trilogy.
