Book Review: A look back at greatness
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book about a stellar player. There is a nice mix of biographic material, as well as numerous annotated chess games. There is a lot to be learned from playing through the games of Morphy. Even if you begin to emulate this remarkable player in just the slightest degree, your chess will benefit a great deal. Unless you really dislike chess, you will be hard pressed not to be in awe of his remarkable blindfold demonstrations. This man played better chess as a teenager than I may ever play in my entire lifetime. Grab a coffee, grab a chess board, and most definitely grab this book and treat yourself to some truly enjoyable games.
