This above all an interesting work from the field of chess history appeared in the author's own publication as long ago as 1928. Reading it, the reader will hardly be able to fathom why such an excellent text waited almost half a century until the second and expanded edition, in 1972. The book covers a long period - from Indian chaturanga to Staunton, and the author leaves us at the threshold of the classical age of chess. In the time of expansion of technique and in the world of chess, this book by Vuković satisfies a daily need in our chess life.
