When Kasparov lost to IBMs Deeper Blue in 1997 some thought this was the death of chess. Russian chess authors, and as well as others, had to start playing for a living once again. Chess can be an entertaining escape as well as a game for serious competitors. Senior Master Alex Dunne shows us chess will still be around in CHESS 2010. This new title is a chess compilation of history, facts, trivia and just plain strange occurrences over the board. It consists of 9 chapters, ranging from a chronological study of all the world champions (both official and unofficial), to a detailed description on the creation of the Ruy Lopez, and how it was modified over the centuries. Also contains many interesting sidesteps as chess evolved. Half of the games are annotated by Dunne and most of the games were played by toplevel grandmasters. For anyone with an interest in chess biographies or history
