Description
THE PENGUIN ENCYCLOPEDIA OF CHESS is the most ambitious and authoritative work of its kind. Arranged alphabetically, the entries cover every aspect of the game including biographies of all players of distinction from the Arabian and early medieval masters to the giants of today - Fischer, Tai and Karpov; accounts of chess history throughout the world -the championships, tournaments and titles; also technical terms, chess law, game theory and problems, plus a whole range of general features from anecdotes and philately to chess in the cinema and chess in Shakespeare.
Edited by Harry Golomhek, one of Britain’s leading chess players and doyen of chess writers, this encyclopedia is a sumptuous work of reference, unrivalled in its breadth and balance of content, comprehensive, readable, up-to-date and original - an essential addition to chess literature.
‘I prophesy that within only a few months chess-playing households throughout the English-speaking world, and indeed beyond it, will be seeking chess information, arid settling chess arguments, with a cry of “Where’s the Golombek?”’ - Bernard Levin in The Times
