There is, of course, The Big Book of Busts - see https://chessexpress.blogspot.com/2014/ ... busts.html
I would advise forum users not to Google the title as several non-chess references will appear.

I seem to remember there was one called "Soft Pawn" by Bill Hartston, which actually had some cartoon tits on the front lol

I have a copy of that book, Neil. Howard Wood from Chess Essentials sold it to me one year at the Leyland Chess Congress.Neil Graham wrote: ↑Tue Aug 25, 2026 7:51 pmThere is, of course, The Big Book of Busts - see https://chessexpress.blogspot.com/2014/ ... busts.html

Bill Tidy did the cartoons for How To Cheat At Chess too, and in both cases very well.
