Best chess book cover

Sort:

I found a chess guide by Serbian grandmaster Svetozar Gligorić in my local library. It has the best book cover ever.

Nice one, lots of interesting elements in it.  I post the following one which I find kind of funny.  The Chess Exam book by IM Igor Khmelnitsky.

The covers of some of Gligoric's other books are quite striking too.  Maybe he has a thing for art.

I'm almost tempted to start a photoshop contest thread for an imaginary "most awesome  chess book cover" :)

Ah yes, the one where she's saying "No, Lev, dear - Kb8 is a forced win for white. Surely you can see that?". Wink

The main problem with chess has long been that the pieces are not armed with lasers - Summercale's book addresses this issue

Hey IpswichMatt.  Please post a bigger picture, I can not see the laser beams.
