"Albert Beauregard Hodges is a legend among chess aficionados. One of the most well-known American chess players of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, he played an important role in transforming chess from a pleasant pastime into a social institution. This work provides an in-depth biography of Hodges’ personal life and chess career and a collection of more than 340 of his games, as well as 15 of his published chess problems. Hodges’ complete tournament and match records are included, along with line engravings, photographs, and several indexes.
