Do you dare arrive at the chessboard without having studied the bluffer's guide to the game? Could you behave correctly without Bill Hartston's homely hints about chess-playing etiquette? Are you sure you have the right birth sign even to be allowed to finger a chess piece? All good clean(ish) fun, Soft Pawn can cure anyone's addiction to hardcore chess theory, and in the process introduce you to a cast of cowboys, detectives, Russian spies and even a handsome frog.
