Description: There is a worldwide problem that is creating all sorts of difficulties. We have extended our shipping window to 20 days to give us time to solve these problems. Like the rest of the world we are hoping to get back to normal soon. What is a myth? it is a remembering of the past where the truth is not reliant on fact. Harold Schoneberg, music critic for The New York Times, wrote this study of chess right about the time of the 1972 Fischer-Spassky match. It is packed with anecdotes of chess from its precursor games of chaturanga and Shatranj to the medieval period, down to modern times, starting with Philidor and ending with Fischer. Some games, many very good quality photographs, many tales, some tall, some true. Worth every penny and then some. Every chess player should have a copy for the reading pleasure alone. It is a great gift to give to a neighborhood champion or aspiring player. If you are a fan of the Netflix series The Queen's Gambit, and you are wondering who the players are, this is a thorough guide to most of the major figures in chess history. This has been updated to include the 1978 Korchnoi-Karpov match. Descriptive notation, Hardback. We combine shipping!
