About This Item
227+[1 ad] pages with diagrams and index. Octavo (8" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. First edition.
Chess is supposed to be fun. Here then is a king's treasure of insiders' chess stories, unusual problems and annotated games, dedicated to that proposition. The reader will find tales of famous grandmasters who were two-fisted drinkers, of a threatened queen leading to a fight and a broken rib, of police interrogations of a world chess champion because he was receiving post cards from Russia carrying code like notations.
Condition. Light edge wear with bumped, rubbed and creased corners else very good.
