“fascinating...great read”—Chess Life; “the debt the chess world owes to Winter is vast”—Chess; “a welcome addition to many private chess libraries...chess illustrations and photographs from the 19th century are fairly hard to find and so their wealth in the Winter books is simply fascinating. Those who are fond of chess history should buy the book”—Quarterly for Chess History; “the reader will find a wealth of interesting positions, game scores, photographs, stories and observations that will fascinate any lover of the royal game and intrigue those with an interest in its history—especially those who like to get to the truth...the chess world owes [Winter] a big debt of thanks...strongly recommend”—IM John Donaldson (JeremySilman.com); “marvelous...fun to read”—Winnipeg Free Press; “the production values are high...meticulously documented. There is something in here to delight everyone who loves chess. Edward Winter has masterfully demonstrated once again that chess history does not have to be distorted to be ‘fun’”—Georgia Chess; “a wonderful treasure trove...perfect for browsing”—The Compulsive Reader.
