Book Description

 

Joseph Henry Blackburne mowed his opponents down as if chess were bowling due to his great skill. Sporting tremendous combinative powers (Lasker himself said Blackburne had more talent than Steinitz but lacked the capacity and discipline for hard work), he was also an expert in the endgame as this booklet shows. Join J.H as he takes on 42 "customers" as White and as Bluck(burne). He beat 'em all, from simul opponents using"trickery" (and a bottle of whiskey) to world champions using fantastic technique honed in everyday battles - a true professional. If you are like most of us and enjoy seeing explosive talent roam the board, you've come to the right place as "The Black DEath" hammers them, repeatedly, into submission, making him, in his day, one of the most successful tournament players ever!
