I need help placing an online order. I am trying to order a 154-955-160 but am failing miserably. What do I need to do?

We need more alliteration in chess book titles!
Afternoon coffee breaks are ever recommended, especially when you've just taken delivery of some copies of The Tricky Tromp! My first hardback in English - ideally a good omen! It's available from @ChessAndBridge, or for more on the book, see: https://t.co/G2d8JfOpp3

1988-2025-20?? Tomorrow brings my first chess sessions of 2025. From 1988 to 2025, I have footholds across five decades when it comes to chess delivery. The full story may one day be told. I am definitely older and perhaps just a shade wiser. Watch out, 2025!

I’d like to add that I’d attended a training camp in Zagreb with @Kasparov63 prior to achieving my GM title. It was reassuring to hear Garry’s words upon hearing about my 5 narrow final GM norm misses. It helped me finally break the UK’s GM record. Huge thanks to @Kasparov_Chess

Thanks for everyone's support during the British C'ship! I enjoyed coming out of retirement for my first Swiss tournament in 3 years ♟👴🏻 Obviously gutted to have come within 1 move of winning the title, but this was Gawain's year. Many congrats to him and Shreyas! 🏆
