Wonders and Curiosities of Chess
Published by Dover Publications, Inc, New York, 1974
ISBN 10: 0486230074 ISBN 13: 9780486230078
Language: English
Seller: The Book Collector, Inc. ABAA, ILAB, Fort Worth, TX, U.S.A.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. x+203+[7 ad] pages with diagrams and indexes. Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 1/4") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. First edition. Irving Chernev was a chess player and prolific Ukrainian-born American chess author. He was born in Pryluky, Ukraine, then a part of the Russian Empire and emigrated to the United States in 1905. Chess historian Edward Winter commented: Although his prose was often conversational, it was literate and carefully structured, bearing no resemblance to the ultra-casual 'I'm-just-one-of-the-lads' stuff increasingly seen in chess books and magazines since his time. We have also been struck by the scarcity of typographical errors in Chernev's writing throughout his life. Condition: Crease to wrappers, light edge wear with bumped corners else very good.

Seller: The Book Collector, Inc. ABAA, ILAB, Fort Worth, TX, U.S.A.

First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 223-[1 ad] pages with diagrams. octavo (8 1/2" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. Preface by Bruce Pandolifini and introduction by Adam Hart-Davis. First edition. Both an instruction book and an engaging meditation on the joys of chess, this is the final work by one of the most successful chess writers of all time. Irving Chernev blends anecdotes with his observations on inspiring moves and combinations by well- and lesser-known players, including Troitzky, Réti, Kasparyan, Benko, Kubbel, Rinck, Grigoriev, and many others. Each example is introduced with a cue ("White to play and win") and includes the composer's name, the date of its original publication if available, a clear diagram with an algebraic grid, and the winning variation presented in algebraic notion. Chernev's sparkling text is complemented by introductions by national Master Bruce Pandolfini and Adam Hart-Davis, an editor who worked with Chernev and who helped assemble this posthumous publication. Appropriate for players at every level, 200 Brilliant Endgames promises to assist chess enthusiasts in sharpening their endgame skills and to enhance their pleasure and satisfaction in the game. Condition: Light edge wear with gently bumped corners else better than very good.
