NEAR FINE Condition oversized softcover except for the covers curling and light edge wear. The book otherwise appears barely read if at all, bright clean, and no perceptible damage. AMZ Review: "The problems here are presented for the expert hobbyist, and not for the lay person who is just getting into the highly imaginative derivation of the classic chess game. It is written assuming you know something about the game, but does give some brief Triestes on the problems, including some history here and there of the problems developed and presented to the reader. In short, it is not an easy book to get through unless you know something about the derivations, or how to immediately tackle icons like upside-down knights labeled as "Dragons" or "Pegasi" that have movements more unique than the original chess knight itself. Castles, deamons, wizards, huge nearly incomprehensible boards with strange dimensions, all with the classic trappings of King, Queen, bishop, knight, rook and pawn. If you can get by all the new pieces and board sizes for the various problems, then you should be okay with this publication" . This item is being sold by Books and Collectibles, LLC.
