Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. xxvi+314+[xv ad] pages with diagrams with diagrams. Octavo (8 1/4" x 5 1/4") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. First published by David McKay 1963. These 25 chess games played between master and amateur were chosen, arranged, and annotated to help amateurs improve their games. What better way could the amateur have of learning to exploit the weak play of fellow amateurs than to study how a master would handle such situations? Selected by former World Chess Champion Max Euwe and Walter Meiden, a typical amateur player, the games point out graphically how the chess master takes advantage of characteristic errors of the amateur. In general, the games have been presented in order of the degree of skill of the amateur. The early games were played against beginners; later games, against "coffeehouse" players of various skill levels; the last games, against amateur "book" players. Each game, with commentary by Dr. Euwe, was chosen to illustrate a specific aspect of chess, from various openings to a number of typical chess situations. By carefully studying these games, the amateur player will learn how to recognize and avoid a variety of weak strategic and tactical moves. Dr. Euwe's helpful and informative commentary on each contest consists of a discussion of significant moves in the game, an analysis of the opening used and explanations of important chess concepts as they arise. Often, he includes a detailed analysis of tactical variations that might have been played as alternatives. The result is an indispensable aid for amateurs seeking to raise the quality of their games as well as a book that can be read with profit by chess players at every level of expertise.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. x+190 pages with diagrams. Small octavo (7aa 34" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. Translated and edited by J Du Mont. Sixth printing. Judgment And Planning In Chess focuses on that crucial point in the chess game -- eight or so moves into the game -- where the opening development breaks off and the middle game begins. This is precisely the part of the game that falls between opening books and middle-game books. Dr. Euwe studies a number of orthodox openings and positions from the point where the opening stage has come to an end. He describes the characteristics of the position reached, shows why one or the other side stands better, and gives a practical demonstration of the means by which the game can be brought to its logical conclusion.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. ix+419 pages with index, bibliography and charts. Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6 1/2") issued in gold cloth with red lettering to spine and gold dust jacket with pictorial on cover and spine and black lettering on spine and cover. First edition. This work analyzes the structure and functioning of an extensive regional peasant marketing system with aboriginal antecedents. It considers the impact upon such a system of the modern industrializing economy of Mexico-a system involving hundreds of villages and numerous marketplaces and traders serving nearly a million people in the distribution of goods valued at over a billion pesos annually. The study identifies the multiplicity of economic roles open to participants, the complexities of a specialized production system and the diverse ways it operates in relation to different commodities and the conduct of trade by various kinds of functionaries. Such problems as supply and demand, price, capital, market results, and the interplay of economic, cultural and social factors are delete with. Data on growth and change under the impact of the modern national economy in the last twenty-five years are presented for the system as a whole and for a specialized village. Throughout the work attention is paid to economic alternatives and the basis for choices made. In many ways, the marketing system described approaches the economist's ideal model of a free market. Because of the high degree of village specialization, in contrast to other peasant marketing systems, the Oaxaca system serves primarily the interchange of goods among the peasant villages rather than the provisioning of the City. As a result, the system shows remarkable adaptability and vitality in the face of influences from the industrializing national economy. Condition: Light edge wear.
