Omschrijving

This book by the well-known author of Modern Chess Strategy makes a unique contribution chess literature. Added to the purely technical contents are a number of features which make the book interesting even for those readers who do not actually play the game but are merely attracted to its sporting background.

There are chapters on Chess amenities, on the relation of chess to Science and Fine Art, on the psychological aspect of tournament Chess, etc. which form a vivid frame for the more technical parts. The examples from actual tournament games are interwoven by anecdotes about some of the great masters and by reminiscences of the authors personal encounters with them.

Chess for Fun and Chess for Blood is the First Illustrated Chess Book. The drawings interpreting the game and its men are by the noted painter, Maximilian Mopp. Many readers will especially prize his portrait of Emanuel Lasker.

General strategic principles rather than analyses requiring memorizing are stressed throughout the book, so that even a beginner or a player of moderate experience can understand the discussion. This method of teaching is unquestionably the most interesting and most effective, because it makes the student think for himself rather than absorb uncritically the analysis of others.
