Hi Julia,
Thanks a lot for your site full of interesting resources for us who like fairy chess. I’m from São Paulo, Brazil, and maybe I’m almost the only fairy chess enthusiast here 🙂
I’d like to show you this book Guide to Fairy Chess, from 70’s. It’s a very good introduction and maybe you like it.

Wish you the best and keep up your good work on your site 🙂
Nice website !
Could you make a link to http://www.arves.org
This site has a lot about endgame studies
Thanks
Indeed http://www.arves.org is an essential place to visit for ending study lovers.
Dear Peter, thank you! Of course, I know about ARVES website. And it is mentioned in the Links section of WFCC website. But here, on JF, I have links to the sites more or less related to Fairy chess. If I add arves.org then I’ll have to add many others too. I’m not sure if it would be right.
I believe that WFCC website is the one to have links to all chess composition resources.
Maybe if they promoted fairy endings…??
Dear Julia, what a wonderful blog you have! So much of useful and interesting articles, especially I loved General rules for the white and black pieces!
I am a big chess lover and even have a shop of handmade wooden chess sets https://www.kaoori.co.uk/product-category/wooden-chess-sets/ , I thought it might be helpful to share with my resource with you 🙂
All the best to this amazing job you started !!!
