Description: 1952. 304 pages. No dust jacket. Green cloth. I only noticed 4 small corrections by pen. PREFACE THE games in this collection have been selected for their intrinsic merit, and although there are many examples of extreme brilliance among them, the guiding idea has been to reproduce master- pieces representative of the style of the respective periods in the history of Chess. It is hoped that, by grouping the games according to openings and within their particular sections, chronologically, the peda- gogical value of the work will have been increased, without any loss in other directions. It should be remembered that the character of an opening is often kept up throughout the middle-game and because of the peculiarities of its pawn formation can, and frequently does, have an influence even on the end-game. A collection such as this can be looked upon as complementary to the standard works on the theory of the openings. The authors wish to express their gratitude to Messrs. D. Castello and R. N. Coles, who have undertaken the gigantic task of reading the whole of the proofs, and others who have assisted in this work. Also, and in particular, to Miss Joan Kealey, now Mrs. Ronald Smith, who, out of over 8,000 games, copied and in part translated well over 2,000 for final selection, an undertaking which she carried out with exemplary thoroughness and accuracy. S. TARTAKOWER. J. DU MONT.
