A picture history of CHESS
Häftad bok. DOVER. 1981. 182 sidor.
Gott skick. Språk: Engelska. “Although much has been written on chess (nearly 40,000 volumes), there has never been a book which attempted to illustrate the history of "The Royal Game" in all its aspects. In compiling this book I have sought the most arresting pictures of the players, tournaments and individual matches that have made the game famous. While often, especially with the nineteenth-century masters, my choice was limited, I have always tried to use the most representative illustrations of men and events. Most of the illustrations are scarce and come from unusual sources, and many have not been previously published. If I have succeeded in capturing only some of the fascination and glamour of the history and legend of chess, I will be most gratified.”
