2010 - Chess Oddities

von Alex Dunne
219 Seiten, kartoniert, 2002, Englisch

Would you sell your soul for a chance at winning the world chess title?
History has shown that chess has had it's share of oddballs and strange events.
Journey into the weirder side of chess with maestro Alex Dunne. Instructive games and quick crushes are brought together with unusual facts and bizarrities (chess oddities).
Ever wondered how the Ruy Lopez evolved? Would you sign your soul over to the Devil just to watch Kasparov tip his King over to you? Are men really superior to women at the Royal Game? Dunne tackles all of these questions while tickling your imagination. Battles of the sexes, short stories, trivia and goofy happenings in the world of chess are the meat and potatoes of "2010: Chess Oddities", in the tradition of that great chess author, Irving Chernev.
Also, the 5 most instructive games, "The Streak," chess in outer space, the Babsontask, the Great Knight Fork, computers, and world champions are here!
