Chess: Art and Struggle by Eduard Gufeld presents a captivating journey through the world of competitive chess, weaving together the intellectual rigour of high-level play with a profound appreciation for the artistry that underpins every great game. Gufeld, one of the Soviet Union's most celebrated and colourful grandmasters, chronicles landmark games and key strategic moments, illuminating the tension between cold calculation and creative brilliance that defines chess at its highest level.\n\nBeyond the moves and the matches, this work argues that chess is nothing less than a mirror of the human condition — a battlefield of the mind where psychology, aesthetics, and sheer willpower collide. Gufeld's prose is as bold and imaginative as his playing style, drawing the reader into a world where a single pawn advance can carry the weight of an entire philosophy. With a foreword contributed by figures from the elite chess world, this volume stands as both a love letter to the game and an intellectual provocation — leaving the reader to wonder where art ends and struggle begins.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203245580507,"sku":"2026100009610-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/2930fcf3-afcc-494c-98cd-f0b97dcc196f.png?v=1788146357","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009610-secondhand-chess-art-and-struggle","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
