Grandmaster Preparation series books for Rs.399/- each on Forward Chess
What is Forward Chess?
Forward Chess is a mobile app for Android and iOS users. It consists of books from various publishers which can be bought and then replayed on an in-built board by clicking on the notation. The offer of Rs.399/- is available only for Android users in India because iOS doesn't allow price discrimination based on different regions.
The best part about downloading books from Forward Chess on Android is that they are linked to your google account. So even if you change your device, you can always sync all the books you have bought to the new mobile phone or tablet.
And now comes the most interesting part about Forward Chess:
It is not your normal e-book. The screen is divided into two parts. At the top you have the replayable board while on the bottom you have the notation that can be clicked. The moment you click on a move, that position comes up on the board. For eg. in the picture above I have just clicked on 4...Nfd7 and that position is on the board.
Imagine you are travelling in a car or a train or on flight, you always have the mobile with you, and once the books are downloaded, you can go over the entire content of the book even in offline mode. It is a great way to have all your favourite books at one place.
Quality Chess will look at the response it gets from the Indian consumers in terms of the books bought from Forward Chess. If the trend is positive we can expect that slowly and steadily all the Quality Chess books will be available for Rs.399/-
