Fraying to spine head and tail and corners, covers rubbed, text tone with random foxing, owner's name stamp, otherwise light wear. Solid hardcover. ; "The first tournament ever held to determine the chess championship of the world was a memorable event. . And the games played at The Hague and Moscow were of exceptionally high caliber and absorbing interest despite (or, perhaps, because of) the terrific strain under which the players labored. . In the pages that follow, we have tried to recapture the glamor and excitement of that struggle and the ultimate success of Mikhail Botvinnik. In order that the reader may see this event in its proper perspective, we have added biographies of the players, a record of their past performances, and a survey of opening play from Anderssent, the first world champion, to Botvinnik." - Foreword. ; 199 pages.
