## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Packed with all the varieties.
  

*by S***. on Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2018*

A comprehensive and thoroughly fascinating volume on the subject of chess. The authors have  covered all the various forms of chess found all over the World. However, for readers wanting more information on standard chess and the history of the game - you will not find much information in this work. That is not its focus. A World of Chess is definitely worth adding to your bookshelf.... You'll never believe just how much information on the different kinds of chess you could collect in one volume!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great book that touches on the basics of all chess variants
  

*by S***D on Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2021*

Good book on the history of chess. Wish that there was a bit more explanation on how chess changed from place to place like why the Chinese version uses elephants and why the western one phased it out. Some type of timeline that shows the history of chess flowing from place to place would be nice (graphical map) and some discussion on the game tree complexity (how difficult one chess version is) would have been nice with Shogi being the most difficult, then Jiangqi, Xiangqi, and then western chess (and some variants in between or last).

EXTREMELY WELL WRITTEN >> JUST OUTSTANDING!!!This volume about Chess will rival, and possibly replace, H.J.R. Murray's 1913 classic! The research is extensive and flawless, illustrations make all informational content perfectly clear, and the writing style draws your attention as if in an enjoyable conversation with the authors.

Get a copy as soon as you can to complete or begin your Chess book collection . . . a Full**TEN**STAR**Highest**Recommendation**!!!
