A Chess Omnibus, by Edward Winter, 2003 Russell Enterprises, Figurine Algebraic
Notation, Softcover, 468pp., $24.95 === Review by John S. Hilbert
When one of the world’s leading chess historians releases a new volume of chess
facts, biographies, games, positions, barbs and quotations, those interested in
the history of our game and its accurate portrayal are undoubtedly thrilled. In
some instances, as in the present one, some readers, this reviewer included, are
overwhelmed. Edward Winter’s A Chess Omnibus clearly ranks as one of the finest
chess history productions of the decade, if not of many decades. If by some
necessity I were forced to spend the next full year with only one chess book at
hand, this is the one I would select. As it is, I expect to spend many months
sampling the extraordinary range and fruitful diversity this volume has to
offer, despite full access to the many other volumes in my collection.
