    Secret Notes
    David Bronstein, one of the world's great players of the 20th century, drew a match for the world championship and was victorious in numerous international events. He was also one of the most original thinkers in the history of chess: rapidplay tournaments, clocks with the addition of a certain time after every move, his own version of random chess - these are just a few of the ideas that have sprung from his fertile imagination.

    Paul Morphy
    Translated by Robert Sherwood from the 1909 edition published in Germany. Maroczy was the strongest player who ever annotated all of Morphy's games and thus to non-German language readers, it should be of special interest, especially since the standards for analytical notes were far higher even in 1909 than were accepted when these games were played.
