ISBN: 9781857444063 / Angielski / Miękka / 146 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Rudolph Spielmann was one of the most fearsome attacking players in the history of chess.

His philosophy on chess could be summed up by his quote: "A good sacrifice is one that is not necessarily sound but leaves your opponent dazed and confused." In...
