I just got this book at the library today. Has anyone read it? The selection of chess books was pretty poor and this looked like the best of the bunch (maybe 10 books).

Yeah, I've read it. It's a decent book, worth reading. No actual chess, though, but good for the history/psychology/politics of the match.

Edit - Only about 10 books, huh? Sounds like my local library. 😞

Yep, me too.

10 chess books at the librairy and over 50% Schiller books?

I wish Librairians actually played chess or had hired a Chess consultant.

In this economy, I don't want to buy a book, but sometimes you don't have a choice.
