THE BATTLE of CHESS IDEAS

This nice Hardcover vintage chess book is BRAND NEW, but it shows age and some 'dealer shelf wear.'  It will be of interest to all chess players interested in improving their game or in this history.

"... does for contemporary chess what Reti did almost a century ago with his celebrated Modern Ideas in Chess. ...  Saidy ... includes a shrewd assessment of Soviet Chess ... among many areas.  He critically examines ten great {living} players adn their best games and shows how they illustrate the GREAT IDEAS in chess strategy, tactics and planning."

"Considered ONLY as a collection of best games, this volume is the CREAM.

But, in its explanations of CHESS THOUGHT, it has become a classic."

In any case, Dr. Saidy is one of the best ever and not sufficiently recognized, in my opinion, for his strong play. He is perhaps best known for his popular books;  The first was The Battle of Chess Ideas, published in 1972, and since translated into Spanish and French. The book reflects Saidy's understanding of and appreciation for the greatest living players, most of whom he faced over the board.  It draws great instructive coaching from these games.
