Dr. Alexey Root

I have completed the text for my fourth book, People, Places, Checkmates: Teaching Social Studies with Chess. That book will be published in late 2010. I am looking for a cover photo for this book. My idea is to show a chess board, one or two chess players (ages 8-15), and flags (either small flags near the board or large flags in the background). If you have such a photo in high quality (600 dpi), please email it to me, aroot@utdallas.edu.

Shown is one example, though with the wrong dpi. I would like many chess and flag variations emailed to me, and hope to find a great cover photo that way. The ultimate decision is my publisher's, but I will submit my cover photo suggestions.

Chess Quotes

When you see a good move, look for a better one.
Emanuel Lasker
You may learn much more from a game you lose than from a game you win. You will have to lose hundreds of games before becoming a good player.
Jose Raul Capablanca
Help your pieces so they can help you.
Paul Morphy
Chess is a test of wills.
Paul Keres
You are never too old to play chess!
Bobby Fischer
Win with grace, lose with dignity!
Susan Polgar
Chess, like love, like music, has the power to make men happy.
Siegbert Tarrasch
The biggest problem I see among people who want to excel in chess – and in business and in life in general – is not trusting their instincts enough.
Garry Kasparov
I spend hours playing chess because I find it so much fun. The day it stops being fun is the day I give up.
Magnus Carlsen
