Play Like a Girl! - Jennifer ShahadeChess books have been around for centuries, but until now they have contained predominantly chess strategies and tactics by male players.
Play Like a Girl! Tactics by 9 Queens is the first book of its kind,
a showcase of puzzles by top women players in history. The book is published by Mongoose Press and edited by two-time U.S. Women's Champion Jennifer Shahade.
In her new book, Shahade reverses the insulting connotation of the title phrase, showing how "to ‘play
like a girl’ should really be considered
a compliment in light of the aggressive and innovative style of female chess champions."
Featured players in
Play Like a Girl! include 16-year-old World Women's Champion Hou Yifan, the youngest player ever to claim the world championship title; and Judit Polgar, the strongest woman chess player in history, who at the age of 15 broke Bobby Fischer's record when she became the youngest grandmaster of all time. There is also
a special focus on American players including reigning U.S. Women's Champion Irina Krush and Barnard College freshman Abby Marshall, the first female to win the Denker Tournament of High School Champions.
