Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Over 100 problems are mentioned in this outrageous book. The author himself is funny, in a weird sort of way, but the truly outrageous characteristic of this book is its problems. they go well beyond the "legal" logics of chess, breaks every rule of it, and drives everyone who reads it crazy. Including the world's hardest problem (no one can probably solve it- it's basically impossible) this book is sure to be one good - and crazy- ride. Buy it, read it, and go crazy!
