The highlight of the first volume was undoubtedly the report on the famous Cambridge Springs tournament, with the complete games, analysis and background. Amongst the many juicy snippets of information included are the tournament rules forbidding consultation on adjourned games, or even ´entering a private room with any of the other players during the intermission´. A real eye-opener! Also included is correspondence between Lasker and Marshall comcerning a possible world championship match. The chess, prose and reporting is of a generally high standard, and the backgorund details are absorbing. 148 pp.
