xi+184 pages with diagrams. Octavo (8 3/4" x 5 3/4") bound in original publisher's red cloth with black lettering to spine and rook to cover. (Betts: 12-9) First edition. This book explains and illustrated the dynamic idea of chess. In the first part of the book the author reviews the Hypermodern Revolution as a reaction against the sterility of the Old Classicism and as a first step on the road to the New Dynamism. His judgments upon the leading personalities of that revolution, seen in the light of historical perspective, are both original and provocative. Did Capablanca's machine-like precision lead him into a dead end? Was Reti diverted from the dynamic principle by preoccupation with stresses in the opening. Did Nimzovich filch his theory of over-protection from Steinitz, and did his novel theory of Blockade in fact hamper his attainment of the highest honors. The second part of the book contains a wide selection of the most modern russian play, and the forces set in motion by the Hypermoderns are seen in full flower. the arrangement of this section by openings makes it a useful guide to modern dynamic play, and the juxtaposition of the ideas of the two periods helps to indicate the direction in which these ideas are moving, thus making them easier to understand. This is an essential book for all enthusiasts - club members and tournament players alike. Condition: Jacket with 1 1/2" x 1" loss to front head edge, price clipped, spine ends and corners chipped.
