Description: Because of stay-at-home orders in Arizona and its problems, we are lengthening our shipping time window to 20 business days. We regret the inconvenience and hope to return to ten days in the near future. Paul Morphy was the great American player who swept all of Europe before him on the eve of the Civil War. Form 1859 to 1959 chess underwent many intellectual revolutions--the Romantic era, the Classical period, the Hypermodern Era, the Soviet School--and Hans Kmoch was an eyewitness to much of it. He traces the intellectual history of chess. A worthwhile book for anyone who is a lover of chess history or the history of ideas. Golden Treasury of Chess is Al Horowitz's update of the work by F. W. Wellmuth. Paul Morphy and the Golden Age of Chess is written by William Ewart Napier, one of the strongest American players of the early 20th century. Golden Treasury has 323 games; Paul Morphy has hundreds more. Introductions, but no annotations. If you are a fan of the Netflix series The Queen's Gambit, these items are for you. You will understand why Beth Harmon thinks so highly of Paul Morphy. Worth every penny. We include bonus material. Softcover, English Descriptive notation. We combine shipping!
