Averbakh, Yuri
В поисках истины [In Search of Truth]

Description

A historical–analytical essay collection dealing with:

• The history and origins of chess
• Biographical and historical reflections
• Theoretical and philosophical aspects of the game
• Cultural essays linking chess with science, art and society

The book is essentially, a “potpourri of articles on chess history”, rather than a single technical manual, frequently cited in relation to Averbakh’s historical scholarship and attempt to connect chess development with broader cultural evolution.

In Russian. Stapled paper wrappers. Signed by the author on the title page, likely during his Australian visit (1988). Very good.
