      Excellent coverage of period chess pieces

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      Having been looking for historical chess pieces for several years I chanced across this book and wondered why there aren't several others covering this topic. The history of chess pieces is a much under documented topic and the Art of Chess covers the evolution of chess pieces very well. Highly recommended.
