Plunges you into chess trivia in a very enjoyable way!

You'll meet some up with some fascinating info including Robert Maxwell and the phoney brilliancy, the Urinal opening, the dream match of Fischer v Kasparov, the horrible fate of Jeffrey Archer, the Beatle who ate the pieces, Gazza's draw against a grandmother, the rudest chess pieces, and the man who was British Ladies Champion. Also a chapter on Nigel Short, Fischer, Judith Polgar, Kasparov, Karpov, and others. Fader & Fader 1987 London

It's a pity ...

... that this book has gone out of print, for it's great fun. Personalities (from Jacob Bronowski to Aleister Crowley), history, records (worst result in a blindfold simul?), chess variants and more. If you can find a used copy of this (or of its predecessor, "The Complete Chess Addict"), grab it!
