BOOK: Knaurs Schachbuch (Beheim-Schwarzbach 1953
Compiled by generror
--*--

A nice little German collection of chess games which has always been a favourite of mine.

I really like the selection, which -- besides the usual suspects -- features some obscure brilliancies. Beheim-Schwarzbach's annotations are not the deepest, but his somewhat old-fashioned prose (he mainly is known for his poetry) does a great job of transmitting the beauty of chess games. Finally, I like that the book is structures after the type of games (mate attack, positional game, successful defenses, draws, etc.).

A few more diagrams would be great, but even so, it did inspire my love for our wonderful game, and it is one of the few books I have kept from my teenager years.

The book was translated into English as Chess with the Masters (Arco Books, 1963) and into Dutch as Thieme's Schaakboek (Thieme, 1964). I own an updated paperback edition that seems to be late 1970s or 1980s.
