A HISTORY OF CHESS
Chess, perhaps the most
internationally popular pas­
time, is a fascinating subject
for study. This book sets out,
in as entertaining a manner as
possible, to follow all the
intricacies of the colourful
history of the game.
With innumerable illustra­
tions in black and white and
full colour accompanying the
very lively text, even the
non-player could not fail to be
fascinated by this History
from its obscure beginnings
in the mysterious East, with
all the intrigue associated
with its evolution, into the
game as we know it today.
The editor of the English
edition, r. B. H. Wood, has
written a special chapter on
the Anglo-Saxon aspects of
the game, as well as devoting
a considerable amount of
time and energy to the revi­
sion of the original text, and
the end product, which you
hold befare you, must surely
be a tribute to his efforts.
