I am not sure if you have any games in there or not. There are over 300 RHP games in there.

I can check when I get home ...[text shortened]... my buddy Francisco (ZonaGrad), so I can't do a search of the book on my phone's kindle reader.
Yes, I found it. My wife has a kindle that she uses to read all her romance books. If you have ever visted the Spirituality Forum and read any of my posts you could figure out why she has to get her romance from reading. Anyway, I don't recall you ever accusing me of cheating so I downloaded that free kindle application for PC and bought your book.
I also bought another chess book called "Chess Patzer To Master" by NM Paul Powell for only 99 cents. Since I consider myself a Patzer, it sounded interesting for the price. I read the first couple of pages already and he defined Patzer and Master as follows:
A patzer may be a beginning chess player, or someone whose play appears to be stuck at the beginning level. Yet the term is also relative: a resounding defeat may be said to make a player of any level "look like a patzer".
A master is a person who has a chess rating of 2200 or higher, awarded by the U.S. Chess Federation, or a chess rating of 2300 or higher awared by the World Chess Federation. Or awarded by his or her country by demonstrating outstanding tournament performances over a period of time.
I am definitely not a master, so I guess that puts me in the patzer category, which I had already put myself in before this book came around.
I clicked through some of the pages of your book too, but it will be a while before I will be able to read and vote for it. By that time, it will probably be too late. You don't have to worry that I am not in the book, because I have already bought it now. Of course some people on here would probably not buy it if I were in the book. So you are better off.
P.S. If I were in the book, I would rather buy the book in paper form so I could easily show it off to others.
