brilliant radio programmes about chess,
By A Customer
This review is from: Chess Treasury of the Air (Paperback)
this book is a welcome hardinge simpole reprint containing as it does forgotten games by bobby fischer and mikhail tal that were first broadcast on bbc radio. other experts are also represented with witty , erudite or educational contributions taken from the radio scripts-these include david pritchard-bob wade- harry golombek and svetozar gligoric. the programmes were recorded around 40 years ago when the bbc still took chess seriously which it no longer seems to do.
