epoqueepique, like your nick my chess èpoque epique ends in 72. And Books like Alekhine's Chess Games - 1902-1946 ( 807 p) and Amos Burn
A Chess Biograph by Richard Forster ( Mc Farland are so amazing, so seious, so hardwork and profound, that are miles away from the trash, the mediocrity, the lie of many today chess books as Polugayevsky said: "90% should never have been written".





Apart from books about Bobby Fischer and Garry Kasparov, and a few collected short papers on the Russians, it seems to me that a great field is still to be exploited in the art of chess writing: that of in-depth individual chess players' biographies, historical and psychological, with or without games analyses.
Can anyone of you book and chess lovers recommend any that I could have missed ?
In advance, thank you!
