Anthony Saidy first dicusses the meaning and fascination of chess and sketches its modern development - including a shrewd assessment of the so-called Soviet School of Chess. In the main part of the book, the author critically examines ten great living players and their best games and shows how they illustrate important ideas in chess. Here are the great chess players and ideas of today, presented by a writer who has done across-the-board battle with most of them; and here are the most exciting and vital games of modern chess.
