With Weapons of Chess, National Master and highly acclaimed teacher Bruce Pandolfini brings us the most accessible and easy-to-use chess strategy book ever.Written for beginning and intermediate players, Weapons of Chess is the first encyclopedia of chess strategies that doesn't rely on the usual baffling chess notation. There are no symbolic chess moves, no charts or sequences in chess notation: every move is explained in words.
Arranged alphabetically for easy use and based mainly on pawn formation, the incredibly detailed and thorough entries in this book talk a player through dozens of common strategic dilemmas, such as doubled pawn, bishops vs. knights, and hanging pawn pair. Diagrams illustrate the terms, first showing the basic position and then strategically moving to more complicated versions of it. Players will learn how to formulate plans once they have reached a middlegame, enabling them to make wiser strategic decisions after the first few moves of the game.
Designed for use as a ready reference during actual practice games, and usable without a chess board, Weapons of Chess is a unique and invaluable resource for any developing chess player

So comfy! True to size! BUY THEM
Size: 9, Color: Red, Size: 9, Color: Red
These heels are my new favorite go to! Normally, I can’t stand my heels after 2 or 3 hours. These heels I can wear for hours on end without any discomfort! No blisters and they didn’t even require me breaking them in. Just super comfortable from the first wear. They’re decently tall so I was surprised how comfortable they are. I love wearing them and I get so many compliments on them. If you’re looking for a pair to wear for long hours, these are seriously the best! They look just like the pictures and fit true to size. I am a size 9 and ordered a 9 and these heels fit perfectly! Just buy them! I plan on purchasing more colors in the future.

Comfy & cute!
Size: 7, Color: Olive Green
I had my doubts that such cute high heeled shoes could be comfy, but these were comfy right out of the box & made it through a wedding with lots of dancing. Comfy, cute & a big hit!
To add: I learned that sizing up by 1/3 size works best for me for all dress shoes, and the 7 worked best for my regular 6.5 size.

Very cute but uncomfortable without bandaids
Size: 9.5, Color: Brown
I wore these shoes to my friends wedding and I got a lot of compliments for how cute they were. They are extremely cute shoes that fit my feet perfectly. The downside is that they became painful for me to wear after only 30 minutes of me wearing to them. During the rehearsal- were I was mostly standing in them- the pads of my feet started to hurt and by the end of the rehearsal (45 minutes later) I could barely walk in them. The day of the wedding I wore them for pictures which took 30 minutes in total and they hurt so much that when I arrived to the venue I had to put bandaids on my feet to make my feet more comfortable and to avoid blisters. Another thing I would say about these shoes is that the strings didn’t stay up after I tied them around my calf. Every time I tied them around my calf, they would slide down to my ankle within minutes. So yeah I love these shoes and they were cute despite the strings sliding down but I would highly suggest wearing something soft to cover the pads of your feet for comfort.
