"This beautiful book is absolutely the best treatment of the connection between chess and recreational mathematics I have ever seen. What makes it stand apart (and far above) other chess puzzle books is the underlying mathematical theory, presented in an entertaining, fascinating, and educational manner."--Paul J. Nahin, author of When Least Is Best
"Watkins has a friendly writing style, and the reader is brought along nicely from simple concepts to slightly more complicated ones."--Ron Graham, 2003 Steele Prize for Lifetime Achievement, American Mathematical Society, and President, Mathematical Association of America
