"The game of chess has spread throughout the world since its earliest beginnings in the Ganges Valley nearly 5,000 years ago. Craftsmen have made sets and pieces from a wide variety of different materials: boxwood, ebony, softwoods, ivory, bone, glass, precious stones, silver, gold, brass, stainless steel and plastics. This attractive book illustrates and discusses the many different chesspieces which have been made, from sets of Meissen porcelain to simple wartime sets made from cartridge cases. A.E.J. Mackett-Beeson traces the history of the game, and describes the few pieces which have survived from the medieval period. He considers the contribution of different countries: Europe, Russia, and the Middle East. Finally he surveys the wide variety of attractive and individual sets made in the Far East.
