Description
Hooper & Whyld: The Oxford Companion to Chess.
Probably the best chess encyclopedia published.. .
"More than 200 games are given, including the only description in modern times of the strategy of shatranj, the main precursor of chess. There are 6500 entries describing named openings and their variations (more than in any coomparable books); these entries cross-refer to an appendix which tabulate these openings by moves - an entirely new way of presenting such information - so that the reader may identify a particular opening by its name if the moves are not known and vice versa. A second appendix provides a glossary of chess terms in French, German, Italian, Magyar, Russian and Spanish. The rest of nearly 2,000 entries cover laws. strategy, playing and problem terms, and related topics such as automations, computers, and the representation of this most romantic of games in painting, literature, the theatre, and films." /text from the dustjacket/. 16 x 24 cm in black linen with gilt print on spine. Dustjacket. 407 pages. First edition. Oxford University Chess 1984. Lusis 75. Kiel 0620. Condition VG.
