The games ranges through the ages and across continents and from the brilliant to the bizarre. Most can be played with an ordinary chess set. Established variants are treated in depth. The main aim of The Encyclopedia of Chess Variants is to entertain, but it also offers some remarkable yet little-known variants for the keen games player and is a source of reference for the student. An essential book for every games library."
