Chess Literature
Mr. Fred Reinfeld needs no introduction as a chess player. As a writer, he is somewhat less known, although since his recent collaboration with Mr. Chernev, well-known chess authority, in their book entitled “Chess Strategy and Tactics,” he is fast gaining a well-merited reputation.
“Chess Strategy and Tactics” deals with games played from the time of Steinitz to the present world's champion, Alekhine. It contains fifty selected games by the greatest giants of the royal game, also splendid analysis and an outstanding comprehension of style, which makes this fine work a genuine contribution to chess literature. The book is very attractively bound, with numerous photographs and diagrams. The price is $1.50, and may be ordered through the writer.
