The Human Side of Chess The Great Chess Masters and Their Games,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Is there any quality common to the world's greatest chess masters, any peculiarity which made them contestants upon that particular particoloured board and on no other? Is there, in other words, a chessmind? Since 1851 there have been seven acknowledged World's Champions at chess, from a variety of nations, each replacing, in direct contest, a predecessor, and each exhibiting capacities for chessplay far and away transcending those of the common herd. What led these champions to the vocation of chess? What were the financial rewards, if any? What satisfactions attended transitory fame and what griefs were there at the inevitable eventual downfall? Fred Reinfeld, himself a player of master strength, is a sympathetic analyst of the idiosyncrasies of the seven most famous giants of the game so far: Anderssen the Romantic, Morphy the Gentleman, Steinitz the Lawgiver, Lasker the Philosopher, Capablanca the Machine, Alekhine the Fighter, and the one still living exchampion, Euwe the Logician. Mr. Reinfeld is not afraid to illustrate his remarks with specific games and specific comments, and his very acute study challenges various preconceived notionsbut the author also describes the character, psychology and mentality of each champion, and his reaction to his rivals, in such a human and sensitive way that we think it fair to promise that this book will have a wider general appeal, even amongst those who have forgotten their chess and haven't played for a long time, The author has known some of the champions personally and observed them in many actions. The picture of Capablanca is particularly revealing, and his sketch of the mysterious character of Alekhine is most penetrating and altogether brilliant.
