Chess Scribe A 50-Year Anthology

En innholdsrik delvis selvbiografisk antologi av den populære engelske sjakkforfatteren David LeMoir. Inneholder blant annet artikler han har skrevet i ulike tidsskrifter og korte utdrag fra de tre suksessbøkene hans.

Både hans egne partier og dem han bringer av andre spillere, er gjennomgående taktiske, underholdende og instruktive, som hele sjakkforfatterskapet hans.

Utgiverens egen omtale:

David LeMoir has written three popular and highly acclaimed chess books including the worldwide hit How To Become A Deadly Chess Tactician. Across fifty years he has become one of the UK's most popular chess feature-writers, his work having appeared more than thirty times in the leading UK magazines CHESS and British Chess Magazine and once in the American magazine, Chess Horizons. He writes to entertain as well as to instruct, and much of his work addresses new ways to look at sacrifices and tactics.

This book includes every one of those articles, plus an excerpt from each of his books and a wide selection of his work as main features writer for En Passant, the UK regional magazine which has been crowned the British/English Chess Federation’s Magazine of the Year on three occasions. Prepare to be entertained!
