DESCRIPTION

"SOVIET CHESS"

By R. G. Wade (1968)

 

Wade, Robert Graham: "Soviet Chess". Compiled by R. G. Wade.

London, Neville Spearman Limited, 1968. Original black hardback edition with gold Title in spine with dustjacket. 288 pages. 22,4 x 14,6 cm. In English.

 

Very good: Slight defects on the dust jacket with some small creases and tears on the edges. The only flaw on the inside of the book is the slight browning on the outside side edge of the pages, and the small specks (stains) on the top outside edge of the pages. Otherwise the book is in great condition, with no writing inside.

 

Betts 6-27; Kieler Schachkatalog 1199.
