Descripción:
xviii+296 pages with diagrams and photographs. Octavo (8 1/4" x 5 1/4") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. First published in 1949. The history of chess is traced in fact and fable from Oriental beginnings in the Indian four handed game of chaturanga, through its role in medieval romance, to its maturity today. Among the colorful figures is the arrogant Deschapelles, who claimed to one need observe but three games to learn all he will ever know of chess. Famous amateurs are discussed, including Napoleon, who was a bad player and a worse loser, Benjamin Franklin, who wrote an essay on the morals of chess, and the great pianist Rosenthal who was loath to leave watching a tournament for a concert tour. Condition: Edge wear, corners bumped, rubbed and creased else very good.

Descripción:
Doubleday & Company, 1950. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good Dust Jacket. This old book with dust jacket is clean, solid and in great shape! This is a hardcover book with 296 pages including some photos and illustrations. The binding is strong with all pages firmly attached. The prior owner wrote their name and date on the first end paper. The pages are otherwise clean with no soiling or tears. The copyright page shows 1950 as the published date. The dust jacket is over 99% intact with some very light chipping on the spine edges, light edgewear and light soiling (No Chips). I have placed the DJ in a fresh mylar jacket and this old book looks and feels great! We always ship in a sturdy cardboard box!
