Masters of Technique, gathering the likes of Weinreb, Tower, Carter, and Eggers, proves that serious writers' fascination with the royal game is not just a phenomenon of the past. This is a collection just as well-suited to those who rewad books as to those who read notation."---J.C. Hallman, author of the Chess Artist
