CJS Purdy's Fine Art of Chess Annotation and Other Thoughts, Vol. 3 (C.J.S. Purdy Number 7 Gold Chess Series)

Volume 3 of Purdy's "Fine Art of Annotation And Other Thoughts". This book continues in the same style as the first two volumes, containing 70 annotated games of CJS Purdy as well as an additional 30 annotated games of his tactically gifted son John, also an Australian Champion. In addition, 6 articles and a number of essays add to the flavor of learning, such as: The Road to 2000; Psychoanalyze Your f-Pawn; How to Plan; The Element of Chance in Chess; and How to See Combinations.

Besides the many diagrams, there is an index of openings, and information on the Purdy Library of Chess.

Cecil John Seddon Purdy was a bona-fide original thinker, explorer, and discoverer. His world was chess! And when a person of high intellect concentrates solely on one thing, we can all benefit from the knowledge he has gained.

This work was compiled by Ralph J. Tykodi, as were all of our recent Purdy projects. He and his wife Lois live in Massachusetts.
