I would recommend this to anyone, chess enthusiast, player or historian, even new players to the game. This book really goes into so much detail about how chess has evolved with the world over time and paints a brilliant picture of the players, the time periods, and everything that transpired into naming so many well openings, and even the pronunciation of their names in some cases.
