Review # 1 was written on 2011-03-10 00:00:00 Joe Shmow In the days before chess databases, this was probably a 5-star book. These days the extremely light notes make this book less useful.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-04-03 00:00:00 TImo Koepe Uma passagem genial é a que descreve o fim da vida de Wilhelm Steinitz que já sofrendo de sérios problemas mentais dizia ter inventado um meio de jogar Xadrez com Deus e que vencia jogando com as pretas e dando um peão de vantagem. O New York Times na época ligava o xadrez à loucura.
