An entertaining and instructive collection of games. The only minus point I can possibly think of is that it's in descriptive notation (1.P-K4). It's a kind of relaxing reference book I regularly return to every few weeks or months. Great.
I am no better at chess for having read this, but that is perhaps a failing of how my mind works
has wonderful tidbits I've seen in no other game compilation, such as the only game(s) I know of between Morphy and Staunton, and what has to be the shortest Master game on record (1.e4 c6, 2.d4 d5, 3.Nc3 dxe 4. Nc3xe4 Nd7 5.Qe2, Ngf6 6. Nd6 1-0)
