Reading Recommendation Needed

Sort:
geneaber

I just finished The Immortal Game by David Shenk and am looking to continue my reading on chess history.  I am looking for more of a text narrative than annotated games.  Paul Morphy: The Pride and Sorrow of Chess is likely my selection.

Any thoughts on that book?  Or recommendations for something else?

Thanks in advance.

Also McFarland publishes lots of great chess history books: https://mcfarlandbooks.com/shop/games-hobbies/chess/

 

Any of those should keep you busy for awhile.
