Jump to navigationCheckers for the Novice Now Available
Richard Pask's Checkers for the Novice, the print edition of Logical Checkers Volume 1, is now available from Amazon[1], and is also available from Amazon UK and Amazon Europe. The 170 page book has been priced very modestly, as this is not intended to be a profit-making or commercial effort; revenue in excess of expenses will be used to support The Checker Maven and future books by Grandmaster Pask.

Checkers for the Novice includes substantial corrections and improvements and is the definitive modern guide for newcomers who wish to play checkers well.
[1] Amazon lists the book with "Richard Pask, Author" and "Bob Newell, Author." This is incorrect. Richard Pask is the sole author. Bob Newell is the editor and publisher.
