Life Maps of the Great Chess Masters

An unusual book tracking 88 of the greatest chess players of all time and their results against one another. The raw data from which Dr. Divinsky and GM Raymond Keene drew their controversial conclusions in Warriors of the Mind, here backed up with some interesting calculations. No games. Large hardcover (8 1/2 x 11), 312 + vi and notes pages. (I.C.E., 1994)

This is a book for the general reader or chess historian, who wants to know who scored what against whom and when, and one has to be greatful to the Canadian academic for doing all the donkey work involved in looking at sources from the 150s up to July 1993.
