New chess books

I am Dr. Gerald M. Levitt, award winning author of The Turk, Chess Automaton (McFarland 2000;2006). I have recently published my first eBook on Amazon/Kindle entitled The True Origins of Chess: Ancient Greece-Yes, India-No (217 pages)

            I am the author of two printed books (The Turk, Chess Automaton (McFarland 2000; 2006); The Sphagnum Moss Bonsai Method, An illustrated Handbook (McFarland 2011)) and numerous magazine articles on chess history, and Science Fiction short stories). I was also the author of Chess For Everyone , a column on chess history that appeared in the Frankford Gleaner newspaper. In 2015, my book, The Turk, Chess Automaton, was named one of the ten best chess history books ever written by Jeremy Silman, a noted chess writer and critic. Some of my magazine articles on chess have received awards from the Chess Journalists of America. I was the “Chess Expert” on The University of Pennsylvania’s award winning radio station, WXPN. I appeared periodically on “Kid’s Corner” where I would speak about a chess related subject for half an hour and then answer live questions from the children and teens about any aspect of chess.

            I have also recently published  a collection of 12 short stories as a eBook on Amazon/kindle entitled Shooting Star, Inverted Hearts, and Other Short Stories, (160 pages) which includes two science fiction stories having strong chess themes.

            Both of these books are now available on Amazon.com and you can find them by searching out “Ancient Greece Chess” and  “Shooting star Inverted”   or use the links below.
