Old and Not-so-good,
By Gordon Ritchie "Woodpusher" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Chess Player's Bedside Book: The Masters Relax (Hardinge Simpole chess classics) (Paperback)
This work is a bit disappointing. It amounts to a reprint of a very dated publication without any updating or modernization. For example, the discussion of computer chess predates Deep Blue by decades. Some of the articles are worth a read but many are not.
