Adventures in Chess by Ed Lasker

This book is a gem on the history of chess. The authors compiled a comprehensive rendition including evolution of the game beginning with its Indian ancestry into the Far East and Persia. The game requires imagination, intelligence, mentation, thinking objectively, abstract conceptualization, distributed attention, a disciplined will and self-confidence. Ivory is the preferred material in designing the chess set. Foresight is critical in the chess game. It is partly deductive and the Queen has the ultimate mobility in closing a close game. This book is a great value for serious students of chess.
