Silman's Chess Odyssey: Cracked Grandmaster Tales, Legendary Players, And Instruction And Musings

Silman's Chess Odyssey" is International Master Jeremy Silman's homage-part instruction, part history, part memoir-to the game he loves. The book opens with with behind-the-scenes tales of tournament life. Then it profiles the lives and careers of eleven legendary players-Adolf Anderssen, Ignatz Kolisch, Johannes Zukertort, Siegbert Tarrasch, Wilhelm Steinitz, Emanuel Lasker, Frank Marshall, Rudolf Spielmann, Alexander Alekhine, Salo Flohr, and Efim Geller-with the help of diagrams and analysis of over 275 games. After that it delves into accounts of criminals who were talented chess players, discusses a memorably odd series of games in a historic interzonal tournament, and memorializes some of Silman's friends in the chess world. It concludes with material on openings, imbalances, tactics, and psychology, and FAQs"--
