Kings, Commoners and Knaves 2 hand

A cornucopia of games, positions, biographies, mysteries, howlers, reviews, quotations, etc., featuring a cast of hundreds from the chess world of today and yesteryear - the champions and the under-achievers; the scholars and the bunglers; the saints and the sinners. Every page provides fascinating, little-known material from an author who is prepared to name names.

``Probably the most meticulous and diligent researcher and chess writer around... Winter`s brilliantly scathing style, always adopted in the noble cause of accuracy, gives his writings a marvellously entertaining as well as instructive quality.`` -William Hartston, ``The Independent``

``This is a chess book to enjoy and to cherish. Combining scholarly and lively writing, it is uncommonly well-researched and well-written, and has that delightful undercurrent of humour and wit that has always graced Winter`s writings. Kings, Commoners and Knaves is a rare chess book, to be treasured for years to come.`` -Yasser Seirawan
