In writing this book, I had valuable help from members of the Carolina Chess Academy: I would like to acknowledge American Master Matthew Noble and Professor Ralf Thiede for creating the chess diagrams. Ralf also prepared the manuscript for submission. I am especially grateful to editorial consultant Dr. Barbara Thiede for her dedicated fine-tuning and creative energy; they made the book complete. We also had a chessic test reader, the Thiede’s son Erik, who had a knack for asking the very questions I did not realize I had left open.
