Description: A Guide to Fairy Chess by Anthony Stewart Mackay Dickins, first published in 1967, is a comprehensive exploration of fairy chess—a realm of chess composition that introduces unorthodox rules, pieces, and board configurations. This work serves as an essential resource for enthusiasts and problemists, detailing various fairy chess pieces, such as the grasshopper and nightrider, and their unique movements and interactions. Dickins’ meticulous research and clear explanations make complex concepts accessible, offering readers a thorough understanding of the creative possibilities within chess. The book has been praised as “the comprehensive work, so long awaited,” and “the bible of Fairy Chess.” (British Chess News) Subsequent editions, including a 1971 reprint by Dover Publications, have made this seminal work more widely available. For those interested in the imaginative aspects of chess, A Guide to Fairy Chess remains a valuable and insightful reference. This book is being posted to you from Naarm/Melbourne Victoria.
