About this title

Synopsis

This book is an anthology of 64 chess games played by correspondence (i.e. post, email or other means of sending moves between distant opponents). The games come from the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries and have been carefully selected by Tim Harding from his database which contains almost 400,000 correspondence games. All the games are carefully annotated, drawing on the comments of the players themselves (where available) and the critical points of the games have been checked in the light of modern computer chess analysis. The games in the book have been chosen for their instructive high quality of play, their exciting high points, interesting stories surrounding them, or all three. While this book will particularly interest correspondence players, it is suitable for all chess players and will provide many hours of entertaining study for juniors and adults alike.
