Customer Reviews of History of Chess
More than you ever wanted to know about Chess Murray has written a truly monumental description of the evolution of chess, filled with descriptions of ancient and oriental variations on the theme of chess. It can be a hard read in places, but it's well worth the effort. The section on Shogi (Japanese Chess) gives an introduction to a game every bit as deep and satisfying as Western Chess.
Monumental book on the history of chess
This book is a reprint of Murrays monumental work, first
published in 1913. Murray is a scientist, and his writing
shows this: we have discussions about legibility of manuscripts,
theories of the spreading of chess, etc.
What we find in all this is a thorough and precise account of how chess came into existence, and has spread over the world. Where many books on the history of chess are best in describing the modern history, this book is best in telling about the roots. Also, we find hunderds of historic chess puzzles. If you really want to know how the origins of the best game there is are, then read this book.
