The Best of Lone Pine: The Louis D. Statham Chess Tournaments 1971-1980

The Lone Pine tournaments were the strongest and most prestigious Swiss System tournaments in the world during the ten year period from 1971 to 1980. This RHM Series of high quality chess books was the brain child of Sidney Fried (born 22 June 1919 – died 1 June 1991). Sidney Fried was not a strong player but was an aficionado or big fan of chess.
