When a top grandmaster was asked why he didn't write a book on chess, he replied, "It's a lot of hardwork!" Surely writing a chess book takes a lot of time, efforts and research. But quality work helps many people become better at the game. WFM Rucha Pujari spent months going over thousands of games and combinations and has finally come out with an ebook - "Beautiful Puzzles". In this article she describes the process of writing the book and also what you can expect to find in it.
