Description:
Wilhelm Steinitz was the first undisputed World Chess Champion, and a true legend of the game. Steinitz played chess in precisely the same highly innovative, risk-taking, hard-hitting, yet thoroughly concrete way as any modern great. Allied to his near-nerveless will-to-win and attacking flair, his exceptional ability to evaluate positions, develop masterful plans and manoeuvre for advantage created numerous games of long-lasting, insightful brilliance. In this book, Craig Pritchett leads you through an unforgettable learning experience that builds on the extraordinary life and games of one of the greatest players in chess history, many of whose most profound discoveries remain at the very heart of the game in the 21st century.
