First edition. Even if Bobby Fischer did fall asleep in his game with Grandmaster Arthur Bisguier, chess is no sedate sport. Here are stories of famous grandmasters who were two-fisted drinkers, of a threatened queen leading to a fist-fight and a broken rib, and a chubby young Czech champion falling out of his chair. Condition: back head edge bumped and lightly chipped. Jacket spine head chipped else very good in like jacket.
