Gylua Breyer

Sort:
Saint_Anne

One of my favorite books is Dynamic Chess by R N Coles, which surveys the birth of the hypermodern movement.  One of the key players was Gyula Breyer, who died while young.  New In Chess has now published Gyula Breyer, the Chess Revolutionary, by Jimmy Adams.  It checks in at 876 pages.  It covers the known games, writings, and problems of Breyer, and other significant games of the period.  Included are game annotations and articles from that time.  Those enthused about the major developments of the game from a century ago will want to enjoy this book.
