Hi everyone! If you don't know this already, I wrote a chess book called, "Queen For A Day: The Girl's Guide To Chess Mastery", which is available on Amazon. You can buy the book

In my exciting book talk for beginner chess players, I will guide patrons and play a whole game against Sophia, the fictional character in the book.
The FREE in-person book talk is on Saturday, June 3 from 1-2pm PST at the San Carlos library, which has easy parking. The address of the library is: 610 Elm Street San Carlos, CA 94070.

Here's more details about the book:
Since chess is a male-dominated game, I wrote this instructional book to inspire more girls and women to play chess. This book takes readers through a complete chess game against Sophia, a girl who has just learned how to move the chess pieces. In the book’s game, players are asked to choose among a master level move, a good-okay move, and a third that is just plain bad. Then readers await Sophia’s next move! With this book, readers will learn to make smart moves in their own real-life chess games, too! This book is edited by Woman International Master Alexey Root, 1989 US Women's Chess Champion. You can check out Alexey's awesome books

This book is endorsed by respected chess masters, including
WGM Jennifer Shahade who won the US Women's Chess Champion twice, FM James Eade, who wrote the popular "Chess For Dummies" book, and more.
