THE HUMAN SIDE OF CHESS

A book to stir excitement in its representation of chess as a creative art, and an end in itself. The story, with emphasis on the chess master as artist and strategist, is of the intellectual and often emotional battles of such triumphant addicts as Anderssen, Morphy, Steinitz, Lasker- and there is a history of the lifetime Tournament and Match Records as well as analysis of fourteen great games.
