The U.S. Chess Hall of Fame

NM Macon Shibut

NM Macon Shibut's book brings the personalities of the Hall of Fame vividly to life in a way that will educate and inspire both young and old chess players.

As National Master Ethan Allen observed in the Maryland Chess Newsletter:

I enjoyed The U.S. Chess Hall of Fame more than I've enjoyed a "chess book" in years. Using a wonderfully human and unpretentious style, author Macon Shibut packs into this little book more information about the history of the chess culture in the United States than I had acquired in twenty-five years of playing the game. What's more, he introduces the reader along the way to the people who played, and continue to play, especially significant roles in the development of that culture, allowing us glimpses of their lives and personalities rather than simply recounting their accomplishments.

More rave reviews of this outstanding book.
