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 !!!
