About this product
 
The author, Richard Forster, is a well-known Swiss chess master, knowledgeable and strong in practical play. His book constructs a bridge between the chess praxis of the nineteenth century and that of our own time, explaining the direction in which chess theory has moved over the past 100 years. Sometimes he corrects or adds to old analysis and occasionally he argues against the pioneers of middlegame theory, though always presenting his case mildly and respectfully. The spotlight is firmly on Burn, but the author also skillfully chronicles the broader picture of chess developments throughout the old master's lifetime.
