English Chess Forum

Hi.
I am looking for ideas to design a nice cover for the book.
One idea can be
What is the most ancient chess game? And if possible, a picture is appreciated.

Thanks in advance

What do you say about these covers, room?

I like the first best with the merging background colours on the centre spread.

Is it common that a text about a translator be written on the back cover?

Do you think the picture (a Roman gladiature) is appropriate?

The chances are he won't be Roman, most gladiators were slaves or prisoners of war.

Use the tried and trusted picture of chess piece so people can see at glance what it is about.

Does this forum get a mention for all the work we put in.

A mention?

I had the impression that all those who contributed to this thread would be getting a share of the fee!

Do you like other Iranians to come ask you questions?!

I wonder if you pronounce "Lopez" with /s/ as the end or /z/.

The sound is /z/

Hi sohei,

"Do you like other Iranians to come ask you questions?!"

No problem at all. Keep asking. The more the merrier. I was just having a little joke.

Hi Barry,

I know almost everyone says the Ruy Lopez pronouncing the 'Z'.

But is not the correct way to prounouce it. The Rou Lopeth.

Yeah, the Spanish pronounce it that way.

Any difference between

How can white win from this position

and

How can white win in this position

?

No difference.

What do you think about this new cover?I think someone on this forum gave me the idea of a checkered layer.
