World Chess Champion Bobby Fischer said: "(Kriegspiel) is a very confusing & difficult game." Chess Grandmaster Larry Evans said "Kriegspiel offers the mystery of the unknown. Go to it!" Rated the most complex game in THE WORLD'S BEST INDOOR GAMES. This is the first book ever on Kriegspiel, even though it originated in London in the 1890s. From the preface: "By emphasizing logic & by adding an element of uncertainty, Kriegspiel is chess for humans in the 21st century. To play Kriegspiel well, all a person needs is an ability to draw inferences from imperfect information under uncertain & ever-changing conditions." Ten chapters. Players' moves. Referee's announcements. Information gathering. Model building. Annotated games. Lessons from games. Rules of the game. Publisher has scheduled Kriegspiel Championships for November 4-6, 1994 in Washington, DC. To order: Premier Publishing Company, Box 341267, Bethesda, MD 20827, FAX: 301-469-7051.
