The Master Game I

2-50
The Master Came, the world's only televised international chess'
tournament, has become addictive viewing, not only for Britaia's
half million chess players
,
but for three times that number who tune
in to watch the clashes of character and the contrasts of personality
among the participants. The grandmaster comments run the entire
range between elation and despair as the game progresses.
This collection of the complete games of the first three Master
Came series recaptures, with the aid of the players' running
commentaries, all the moments of instructive mastery and the
occasional blunders of the novice. Jeremy James introduces the
players and Leonard Barden explains the overall strategy and tactics
of each game.
Many viewers of The Master Came say they learn more from the
programme than from any orthodox chess primer. Thus, this
collection is both a handbook of an enjoyable series and a chance
to brush up your own chess play with the aid of chess masters and
experts
