Synopsis :

A Literary Steinitz Gambit is Wilhelm Steinitz’s sharp, witty, and fiercely argued foray into chess journalism—written at the height of late-19th-century debate over what “good chess” really is. First published as a series in International Chess Magazine beginning in 1888, this work blends polemic, autobiography, and theory into a spirited defense of serious, scientific play.

Steinitz—widely recognized as the first official World Chess Champion—takes aim at the “so-called critics” of his day, dismantling lazy analysis and fashionable dogma while championing clear thinking at the board. Along the way, readers get a vivid snapshot of chess culture in an era when ideas about attack, defense, and positional judgment were transforming the game.

Présentation de l'éditeur: "A Literary Steinitz Gambit" from Wilhelm Steinitz. Austrian-American chess player and the first undisputed world chess champion from 1886 to 1894 (1836-1900).
