GREAT CHESS MANUAL
If a tenth-rate player may be permitted an opinion, echoing the voices of authority, Dr. Emanuel Lasker's “Manual of Chess” (Dutton) is the most serviceable and instructive guide to the game that any amateur in America is likely to find. First published in English in 1927 it has now been corrected and revised. The heart and soul of the game are revealed by Dr. Lasker and no student of the time will be happy without his book.
