The best way to become a champion chess player is by playing over complete games. Manus's stories and poetry are meant to lift you up between each game. After all, only chess and chess only, makes a tired chess player. Many of the things that the characters in the chess stories do are gained from the experiences of Manus's childhood in the neighborhoods of Boston. So sit back, grab a board and the book and enjoy a tall tale, a poem and exciting games. Here's a word from a grand checker player, his late father, God bless him: He said, "Manus, sharpen your gippy to avoid a bad turn." So, he says the same to you. God bless and good chess.

Manus wanted to give something back to his community. So, he asked the librarians in his community if he could offer a chess program for the children. Well, the children asked many questions that he didn't know. With his head held low he made his way to the local chess club and learned the game the right way. After countless games of chess he was finally able to go back to his library and teach the game with his head held high. He has taught hundreds of thousands of chess players to play the game forcefully. Enjoy the stories and don't be surprised when your rating rises. After all, it takes a tall man to tell a tall tale.
