CAISSA WEB
THE CHESS BEDSIDE BOOK
selected and introduced by
Graeme Harwood

This is an anthology of stories, anecdotes, quotations, excerpts from chess and other literature, and other allusions to chess, brought together in chapters on Poetry, Drama, Fiction, History, Proverbs, Stratagems, Definitions and Symptoms. There are no games, problems, endings or positions to ponder over, and only the briefest mention of The Morals of Chess.
There are however several good cartoons, taken from various chess periodicals

The 12 pages of plates in the middle of the book include the well known painting, by Karel van Mander, of Shakespeare and Jonson Playing Chess. Harwood comments that `the only published copy of this seems to be in A. Klahre`s Chess Potpourri´, published in 1931, and fails to mention that both The Good Companion Chess Problem Club and American Chess Bulletin had published the painting in 1915. The van Mander painting was also reproduced several times in Tracy Kingman`s book An Authenticated Contemporary Portrait of Shakespeare, published by William Edwin Rudge, New York, 1932.

Most of the chapter headings are self explanatory while the chapter on Stratagems focuses on `how players should or could win games´ and `is a catalogue of epithets, advice and gamesmanship´. The Symptoms chapter `is a collation of the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual phenomena general to all who play chess at any level.´
