Unusual book, half stories, half chess games with a twist

If you are looking for a unusual book, or one that tells of Chess lore, this one's for you. Variety of stories, chess games, puzzles and problems. Easy to read... games in descriptive notation. I purchased this book in 1973. Greatest game is Bogolyubov vs Alekhine, Hastings, 1922.
