Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am an author of several Advance Matrix Chess books. My father taught my three brothers and myself how to play conventional chess. My fascination with chess inspired me to find better ways of making conventional chess more interesting and complex. Thus, I was able to design Advance chess game boards which make the game intriguing and complex. You see, after a while conventional chess became boring and dull. My first Advance chess game board is named Model I, the Star Fish model, to name a few. My second Advance chess game board is called Model II, the Latitudinal Star Gate 14 Model ; the book for Model II has been presented to the Library of Congress and is not in circulation to the general public. My third Advance chess game board is called Model III, the Longitudinal Star Gate 14 Model ; this is the game board that I currently working on and is being published to the public. The books on Model I and Model III are currently open to the public for viewing and reading.
Thus far I have written about 15 Advance chess books.
Some of my hobbies include: reading, writing, photography, designing Advance chess board games and painting Advance 3-d Arts.
Some of the sports that I participate in include: soccer, tennis, swimming, badminton, ping-pong, horse-back riding, skate boarding, walking, biking, karate, tak-won-do (self-defense ) and yoga.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The title of my latest books is : Advance Chess – Model III – the Triple Set Game, Book 3 Vol. 1, Game #1, (T.3.1. G1), (G-G)/(G-G)/(A-A). This book is about the Triple Set game played on Model III. This means that three chess sets are used to play on this model all at once and at the same instant. The idea behind designing Model III is to allow as many chess players to participate in the game. The maximum number of chess players which Model III may accommodate at the same time is five(5) chess players.
Although I have written books about the Single Set and the Double Set games played on Model III, I decided to write about the Triple Set games played on Model III the make an interesting read. It was not my intention to make my readers bored with just reading about the Single Set and the Double Set games.
