After three impressions of the original book had been exhausted, the author prepared a thoroughly revised edition, largely rewritten and brought up to date with many telling illustrations from current master-play; and this is the sixth impression of that edition. ***To quote the Observer: "His analysis of the mental processes of experts in position-valuation, attack, defence and so on, is admirable and justifies his claim to be a pioneer in systematizing middle-game strategy.' (Quote from inside front of dustwrapper). ***Znosko-Borovsky (1884 - 1954) was a Russian chess master, music and drama critic, teacher and author who wrote many articles and books on chess. ***Sixth impression of the revised edition in English, uncommon to find complete in its original 1950s dustwrapper. A chess classic, of interest to chess-players and collectors of books on chess. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
