My name is Rushawn Robinson, and I am a self-taught chess player whose goal is to become a chess master.

IM IA I publish my books myself. My ambition is for them to be the best and have the most beautiful covers. https://witalis-sapis.com/en/homepage/ When creating a new book, I decided to change the cover of "Master Strategy" so that all the covers would have musical and chess motifs. The cover of "Master Strategy" is a reference to Taylor Swift. Her album "Folklore" and music videos for "Cardigan" and "Willow". Most people probably know Taylor as a celebrity and singer, but in my opinion she is one of the most interesting personalities of our times. The cover of "Game Techniques" is a reference to Cat Stevens' album "Tea for the Tillerman". And the cover of "Master Strategy in Endings" refers to Genesis' album "Foxtrot". The references are sometimes close ("Game Techniques"), and...
