From the Dust Jacket: "A king's treasury of chess stories and unusual games and problems for budding masters, sideline kibitzers, and rainy-Sunday-afternoon beginners. [The book is filled with] unusual problems and annotated games dedicated to the proposition that chess is supposed to be fun. Here are stories of famous grandmasters who were two fisted drinkers, of a threatened queen leading to a fight and a broken rib, and a chubby young Czech champion falling out of his chair. The New York police once questioned World Chess Champion Steinitz after they intercepted post cards he was receiving from Russia -- post cards carrying strange code-like notation. Illustrated with game diagrams and overflowing with privileged lore from the world's great chess clubs, CHESS TO ENJOY is as instructive as it is engaging." . First Edition. Hardcover.
