I just found your site, which is very complete, I am an amateur player in Honduras and I'd like to learn well but to start with, I need to study the Openings in depth. I would like that you recommend me the best book to learn Chess Openings and tricks to surprise my friends here.

My suggestion is that for us, the people living away from the USA (HONDURAS), it is very hard to send checks, I do not know if it is possible to pay with a credit card.

Thank you and I'll wait for your answer.

Hi, Carlos Romero (Honduras):

There are so many books about Chess that to tell which is the best would be impossible since it is necessary to read them all and then to decide the one that could be the best.  One thing is for sure: any book about Chess Openings theory is good. Another way to improve your game is to play a lot regardless of winning or losing and also reviewing great players games such as Fischer, Kasparov, Capablanca, etc.

If you won't have the means of buying a Chess book, it doesn't matter much since with Internet access, you practically can get for free all the information of any Chess topic you may wish to. Below, we're sending you some links about Openings that we believe are complete:

On your question about checks and credit cards, to date, we only accept foreign drafts or the equivalent for the purchase of our Chess Poster on shipments outside the US.  Maybe, in the near future, we will change our system and begin accepting credit cards.

A possible solution to this matter, might be that a relative or a friend of yours living in the USA, send us a check ($15.00 US) with instructions to ship it directly to your address in Honduras.

Thank you for visiting us.
