Each game provides a classic example of a fundamental problem and its best resolution, described with chess diagrams and Chernev's lively and illuminating notes. The games - by chess greats such as Capablanca, Tarrasch, Fischer, Alekhine, Lasker and Petrosian - are instructive for chess players of all levels. The games turn theory into practice, showing the reader how to attack and manoeuvre to control the board. Chernev runs through the winning strategies, suggests alternative tactics and celebrates the finesse of winning play. This is not only a book of 62 instructive chess games, but also 62 beautiful games to cherish." ; "Chernev was a chess player and prolific Russian-American chess author. He was born in Pryluky in the Russian Empire (now in Ukraine)[1] and emigrated to the United States in 1920. Chernev was a national master strength player, and was obsessed with chess. He wrote that he "probably read more about chess, and played more games than any man in history."--Wikipedia ; "Chernev's output - clear, humorous and easy-going - gave the impression of effortlessness, but much industry lay behind it all."--Edward Winter ; store stamp on inside front cover ; corner-clipped front endpaper ; else VG.
