She Plays to Win - Be Inspired by Our Chess Queens (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789464201529)

This book contains games from every single
female World Champion, as well as young up and comers, top seasoned
professionals, streamers, and even a section at Beth Harmon from the recent famed
Queen's Gambit hit show.

This book is not just for girls and women,
however. Any chess player can learn from these games and discover female chess
history, both from the famous players in the past right up to the present day.

How have these games been selected?

It is at this point I can mention the real
reason- my UK Girls chess project called 'She Plays To Win' (SPTW).

This group has officially been going since
April 11^th 2020. I had the idea even a few years before, but I was
not sure how it could be set up. The unfortunate events of worldwide lock-down
provided the answer, as the switch to being online allowed me to offer zoom
lessons for UK girls as well as weekly girls tournaments on the Lichess server.
I do this for free and parents have never paid anything to get involved.

Each week I cover a top female player and
we analyse the game. Over the past year I have built up a large collection of
games and tactics, which I felt could be published. It is the most up to date
collection about women's chess covering a variety of ages and levels.

After just one year, I have over 360 girls
across the UK signed up, and a further 150 beginners in our new beginners
program. I hope this is just the beginning.
