The Game of Chess
Siegbert Tarrasch
Dover Publications
While there are many chess instruction books available, few have achieved the lofty statue of the present volume. Fewer still have been written by a legendary International Grandmaster whose pedagogical skills rivalled the chess prowess that enabled him to demolish opponents at the board. An immediate success upon its first publication, "The Game of Chess" has become one of the game's enduring classics, considered by some critics the finest book ever written on the game.
