Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book collects and analyses two hundred and fifty of the most entertaining games from actual play, contested between some of the best exponents of the last 50 years, when White gives the odds of a Pawn and move. This opening was a popular method of equalizing the skill differential between a stronger and a weaker player in the days before time controls and match play became established. The author has arranged the games in tabular form, with notes, to more readily show the variations arising from any particular move. It will be found to contain much to interest and instruct the learner, and, in view of the book being the first to deal solely with games played at these odds, it should prove attractive to players of all strengths.
