Chess has developed such a large body of myth and folklore that sorting fact from fiction is not easy. As with Edward Winter's previous volumes in his "Chess Notes" series-- Chess Explorations (1996), Kings, Commoners and Knaves (1999) and A Chess Omnibus (2003)--this work (the first from McFarland) features in-depth research into chess lore, corrections of popular misconceptions, biographical notes on famous players, and authenticated quotations.

The book concludes with a comprehensive bibliography and indexes of players, games and openings, illustrations, and general subjects.
