Description: The Game of Chess by Harry Golombek 1955 Good condition. This is not one of the many reprints issued later. This is the actual book from 1955! This has been deemed a culturally and historically important book. The photos you see here are photos of the actual book that you will receive. Many book sellers online post using stock photos that often don’t resemble the book you actually receive. Please check out the 3600+ comments on our eBay feedback. Written by one time British chess champion & leading theorist, Harry Golombek. Even though the book was written in 1954, I've found it perfectly concise and comprehensive for both beginners and intermediate-advanced chess players. If you play a lot of chess but have never read any chess books then I recommend this as a wonderful supplement. Your game will only get stronger with study. Because there are so many chess books available it's hard to figure out what one needs, but for starters, this is excellent because it not only contains a basic introduction to the game, it also includes chapters on openings, the middle game, end game, and a number of famous games from the Nineteenth Century (filled with timeless tactics & strategies that show the evolution of the game). All in all, Golombek has written a highly instructive and easy to follow Penguin handbook which, with a little time and effort, will undoubtedly polish your style and strengthen your (chess) mind.
