Contemporary Chess in America: How Chess Has Gotten Younger, Faster and Digitally Driven - Softcover
Synopsis
Contemporary American chess is stronger and healthier according to Alan Rodenstein. Largely a review of contemporary chess with comparisons to the early 1970 s Fischer era and interspersed with the author s personal experiences, Contemporary Chess in America describes the journey of American contrasting from the 1970 s to today. While examining many changes, Rodenstein focuses on three: the increased youth in chess, the greater speed of chess and the changes as a result of the digital revolution. Contemporary Chess in America will provide the reader with a new perspective on American chess and, as with all chessplayers, fodder for vigorous discussion.
