Vishnu Warrier is a Chess Expert hailing from the United States, based in Texas. Growing up in the rainy Pacific Northwest, Vishnu spent his youth playing speed chess against chess hustlers at Crossroads Mall.

Vishnu is heavily involved in coaching and training the next generation of students. He is an adult improver and is working on getting his national master title. Outside of chess, Vishnu is a husband and a father and works as a Consultant for a Fortune 500 company. This is his forth book for Thinkers, his first 'The Chess Bible' being one of the bestselling chess books of 2022 and the third in the series of AlphaBetChess.
As a fellow chess coach, player, author, enthusiast, and most importantly Dad, Vishnu’s AlphaBet Chess Volume 3 warms my heart. With Dr. Suess-esque rhymes and super fun cartoons by Diriq, this book will be a hit for kids, parents, and coaches alike! It highlights many key chess ideas with easily understandable chessboard visuals to complement the rhymes. Oh, and if you’re a rap fan like me and my chess kids, each page also makes a fabulous chess rap! Enjoy!Siva Sankrithi - former teacher and father of 2 boys (under 12) that have written 2 chess books, USA, September 2025. Warrier's 'AlphaBet Chess Series Volume 3: The Rhyming Chess Chronicles A-Z' transforms chess into an exciting and enjoyable adventure for its young readers. Warrier weaves creative storytelling in the poems and shares amusing, engaging images and colourful presentations to teach various chess concepts in a fun manner. Warrier's experience as a parent helping his own children learn various skills through chess shines through in this book, and the kids who read this concise book will discover many valuable insights beyond chess terminology. GM Max Illingworth, Australia, September 2025. AlphaBetChess is a novel concept for teaching kids about the world of chess. Rather than intimidate youngsters with complex jargon and unintelligible notation, AlphaBetChess breaks down complicated chess concepts into understandable stories told in a prose reminiscent of Dr. Seuss. This book is great for introducing kids to the enormous world of chess in a lighthearted, fun way.GM Raven Sturt, USA, September 2025. ""Full of clear visuals and simple ideas, this book makes learning chess feel natural and fun from the very first page."" GM Elshan Moradiabadi, USA, September 2025 I absolutely love The Rhyming Chess Chronicles. For new chessplayers, it will help them remember tricky rules like castling and en passant, as ample research shows that rhymes and jingles are powerful for building memory. For fans of chess, it will entertain with its catchy rhymes and brilliant illustrations. Above all, The Rhyming Chess Chronicles is a vivid reminder that chess is not just competitive, it is also pure fun. As a chess mom, I can't wait to read these rhymes to my son! Bravo Vishnu and Diriq! Jennifer Shahade- Three Time National Chess Champion and author of Thinking Sideways: How to Think Like a Chessplayer and Win at Life , October 2025. All parents are teachers, and they often have to balance fun and seriousness while teaching kids complicated life concepts. With Vishnu's book this dilemma disappears for chess, now you can be a clown too! GM Alexander Shabalov, USA, September 2025 I have always been passionate about keeping chess fun, especially when it comes to kids and anyone learning the game, and so the AlphaBet Chess Series really resonates in our house. My 7 and 5 year olds absolutely love Alphabet Chess and it has now become a regular bedtime favourite. Sometimes I even find them picking up the book on their own and flicking through the colourful and entertaining pictures. And of course the best part is, they are learning lots of chess concepts without them even knowing it; and that is the real genius of these brilliant books! I highly recommend Alphabet Chess and hope that others will find the same enjoyment in their homes as we have in ours! James Gardner, Creator of the Youtube Channel, Epic Chess
