The Secret of Chess

[Henk]

I will wait until Kasparov writes a review.

So, my only alternative to trying to sell a few copies would be to go taxi-driving. (In Bulgaria, most educated people drive taxis)



PS. If anyone buys, please advise if things work, I am doing this for the first time.

I was quite recently stranded in Holland, and we took a taxi and it was extraordinarily expensive by the meter.

I would highly recommend it there, as a job (not so much as a passenger).

I guess the offer concerns Henk, as he lives in Holland.

Chessbase reprinted David Smerdon's review, and some people have hurried to buy the book, true, for each ebook purchase, I am getting just a bit more than 2 dollars.

So next problem is how to fill in your tax form correctly ? Or how many copies makes a best seller.

Maybe also publish a youtube video about your book. And make sure it gets enough views.

Correct, this will last 1 or 2 days at most, until the article is fresh.
But still I will remember that Day: I reaches number 1 in chess books in the Kindle store, and around 10 000 overall(60 000 in all books).

Some 50 000 places still to the cherished goal.

If someone could do that for me, I would be happy, but I am not very good with videos.

It would also be great to post on Facebook, but Facebook has shut me out until I provide a valid photo. I uploaded at least 10, and it still says: 'Invalid upload'.
Some knowledgeable people suggest I should be uploading a jpg file instead of a JPG one, so I am just considering to try that out by converting JPG to jpg.

Here another one, very short: https://www.welshccf.org.uk/article/325
by Russell Sherwood of the Welsh Corresponcence Chess Federation(thanks Russell).

It is for the first time someone puts me on the Fringe, I am very happy.
'The Secret of Chess' convincingly beats ARB and Berliner, on equal terms with Shashin.
