Dana Mackenzie’s Did You Come Here To Play Chess Or To Have Fun? celebrates the joy of chess—the ordinary, everyday chess most amateurs play.
This New In Chess title brings together forty favorite posts from his award-winning chess blog, with a mix of stories, philosophical musings, chess improvement tips, and game analysis. It includes club nights, team tournaments, state championships, the Hook and Ladder Trick, and Dana’s personal favorite opening, the Bryntse Gambit, with analysis found nowhere else. A special chapter also covers Mike Splane’s invitation-only chess parties in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The book continues the blog’s dialogue between author and reader and reflects Dana Mackenzie’s background as a Ph.D. mathematician, chess master, and science writer. Explore more chess reading in Accessories > Chess Books, and see related titles like 2006 Chess Life Annual Book.
