5.0 out of 5 stars classic masterpiece of chess thought, 9 Dec 2002
By A Customer
the author of this book is richard reti a chess grandmaster of the 1920's who won first prizes in several important tournaments. he also won games against the greats of his day such as capablanca, alekhine , nimzowitsch , rubinstein and bogolyubov.

this book is probably his masterpiece-analytical sketches of great figures of the past including paul morphy and wilhelm steinitz as well as those of the present including lasker tarrasch and the players whom reti defeated. reti has a beautiful and elegant writing style and he rapidly captures the essence of the style of each of the seminal figures whose games he analyses.

anyone interested in the intellectual history of chess or indeed in fine and inspiring writing about the game must get this book. for once the cliche about-no library is complete without this-is true!

5.0 out of 5 stars Synopsis, 6 Jul 2007
Richard Réti produces a penetrating thumbnail sketch of each of the great masters who contributed decisively to the progress of chess thinking from the days of Morphy and Anderssen up to the time of Capablanca, Alekhine, Nimzowitsch and the hypermoderns, amongst whom Réti numbered himself. Widely regarded as one of the most stimulating books ever written on chess, its strategies and personalities, Masters of the Chess Board has both educated and enchanted generations of chess enthusiasts. Richard Réti -one of the leaders of the hypermodern school of chess which rose to prominence in the 1920's - was a formidable over the board grandmaster as shown by his victories at the splendid tournaments of Kaschau 1918, Gothenburg 1920 and Teplitz Schonau 1922. His victims included Capablanca, Alekhine and Nimzowitsch, while his elegant destruction of Bogolyubov deservedly won the beauty prize at New York 1924.
