 I am a prolific chess writer as well, although my list of books is shorter than
your (maybe I'm younger?) The translation of the titles:

 Chess Procrastination: Theory and Technique
 Telmo's 400 worst games
 Losing in 10
 My 60 Memorable Blunders
 Play like an ape
 The Art of Forfeit
 How to Lose Pre-Arranged Draws

 {these books are written in Choctaw- Chinese translation in preparation)
