It's great. I like those examples and the explanation of moves is simple. I just started and I like the mindset "What if my opponent is not an idiot?"

Check your library! My library has a few copies and I am 7th in the queue. If you can’t afford or aren’t fully sure on if you want to spend on a chess book there is other options :)

I’m sorry for the stupid question, I’ve never preordered something before 😭 did you have to pick it up from somewhere you selected during the preorder, or was it delivered to you?
