As an active member of the U.S. chess scene, I of course know of Ray Robson, currently the youngest Grandmaster in the country at 16. In fact, as an active tournament player I have even had the chance to meet him, and play ping pong and chess with him. Just as great a pleasure was meeting his father, Gary Robson, a very kind and intelligent man. So when I heard that Gary had written a book about raising Ray, I immediately knew I had to read it.

I've just ordered my copy of the book, Chess Child, but I wanted to immediately share some reviews with the chess.com community as well. As a bonus to ordering the book, Gary promises he will use all proceeds from the book to help Ray develop as a chess player --> we get to see him play more!! Ray is a great asset to the chess community, and I suggest everyone keep their eye on this young man's rise.
