"Most of the chess players in 1939 came from countries which would be hugely changed by war: Germany, Poland, Bohemia-Moravia (Czechoslovakia), France, Britain, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Bulgaria and Palestine. And there were few players whose lives were not totally affected by the conflict. In 1939, the Americans refused to turn up because they did not regard the money offered as adequate; an I.R.A. bomb scare nearly caused a British player to miss his train; the wife of one player was involved in a major literary controversy which was rocking Guatemala; and the voyage to Buenos Aires helped influence a novella by Stefan Zweig. The tournament began on the day that the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was signed, with the final round starting on the day Germany invaded Poland. By that time three of the English team had left, anxious to get across the Atlantic before the U-boats started attacks. And the day before the last round, with the final matches to decide whether the Germans or the Poles would win the Olympiad, the Soviet Union invaded Poland. By this time, the weaker teams had found themselves relegated to a second league, competing for a cup which turned out not to exist. The tensions around the start of World War II were replicated in Buenos Aires, with many of the chess players choosing to remain in South America rather than return to Europe being engulfed by war. Three English players became code-breakers at Bletchley Park, and of the other players, one died in a Buenos Aires lunatic asylum, one was murdered in the Holocaust, one served in the Wehrmacht, and another perished in a Soviet gulag; with the winner of the Women's Championship was killed in a V-1 attack on London. Using archival resources from around the world, and visits to Argentina and Uruguay, this book is the first to detail the machinations of the Buenos Aires Chess Olympiad which reflected, in so many ways, the political situation in 1939"--back cover.

Here is a true story of international intrigue, romances, corruption, graft, and political assassinations, the like of which has never been written before. It is the story of how different groups or atheistic- materialistic men have played in an international chess tournament to decide which group would win ultimate control of the wealth, natural resources, and man- power of the entire world. It is explained how the game has reached the final stage. The International Communists, and the International Capitalists, (both of whom have totalitarian ambitions) have temporarily joined hands to defeat Christian-democracy. The solution is to end the game the International Conspirators have been playing right now before one or another totalitarian-minded group imposes their ideas on the rest of mankind. The story is sensational and shocking, but it is educational because it is the TRUTH. The author offers practical solutions to problems so many people consider insoluble.

In the nineteenth century the Eastern Frontier of the Cape Colony was the stage on which a hundred years of conflict between Briton, Boer, and Xhosa was played out, fed by competition for land and mutual cultural incomprehension. The consequences of that conflict are still playing out in modern South Africa. Britain's motive in establishing the British settlement of 1820 was to set up a buffer on the border between the Xhosa on the east of the Great Fish River, and the Colony on the west. The motive of those who braved the journey was to find a better life than that offered by Britain after the Napoleonic wars. This is the story of some of them, including: Robert Hart - The first British settler. Soldier. Pioneering farmer. Patriarch. Edward Driver - Smuggler. Daring elephant hunter. Trader. Guide to General Sir Harry Smith. Always close to trouble but emerging unscathed. The Thackwrays - Pioneers, traders and explorers. Father and two sons each died violently, trying to make better lives for their families. Joseph Walker - One of a group of merchants and entrepreneurs who made their fortunes on the frontier. John Forbes Cumming - Missionary. A man combining deep religious conviction with romantic dreams and great courage. They became joined by family ties. Their stories include tales of murder, gunfights, war, massacre, and unrequited love, and are interwoven with the historical narrative. The material is extensively researched using a wide range of primary sources. The protagonists influenced and were influenced by those they encountered. This also the story of all those people - Xhosa kings and commoners, Boer farmers and adventurers, South Africans to-be with different languages and cultures. The book epitomizes Carlyle's observation: "History is the essence of innumerable biographies." It is a gripping account of the history of the Eastern Cape Frontier as experienced by some who lived there.

Every chess player needs to know how to handle his pawns. Pawns form the 'playing fields' of chess games, a semi-permanent 'structure' that can determine whether a player wins or loses. This comprehensive guide to pawn structure teaches the reader where pieces are best placed, which pawns should be advanced further or exchanged, and why certain structures are good and others disastrous. This invaluable book is a major update of this chess-world classic, first published in 1975 and unavailable for several years.
