About This Item
157 pages with diagrams and indexes. Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 1/4") bound in original publisher's illustrated jacket. First edition. How does one become a Grandmaster? What is it like to players perform so indifferently? Is the writing of chess books a feeble substitute for successful play? Is chess an art, science--or sport? What is the point of chess at all? These are some of the questions that are met head on by Raymond Keene, who in 1976 became the first ever over-the-board British Grandmaster under the FIDE title system. Condition: Spine sunned, corners bumped, light edge wear else very good.
