Anatomy Of Chess

ISBN: 3-88502-028-9, Editor: Ellinger, Dr. Hans

Inspired and guided by Egbert Meissenburg, a new book has appeared discussing the origins of chess. 

Jean-Louis Cazaux, Gerhard Josten and Myron Samsin have compiled into one volume a series of essays presenting the "structural approach" to origins research. 

In addition to their own contributions, the editorial team has reprinted important and difficult to obtain papers by Hans Holländer, Yuri Averbakh, Pavle Bidev and others. 

No one with a serious interest in the origins and early history of chess should be unfamiliar with these currents in modern thought.  The Anatomy of Chess collects them into one convenient reference. 

It is published as Volume 8 of the series "Tübinger Beiträge zum Thema Schach", and is available starting in May, 2003.
