The Chess Pub Quiz Puzzle Book

Dimitri Reinderman som stormester i sjakk og quizentusiast fra han var ung, har naturlig laget tidenes første sjakkquiz-bok. Her er det svært ulike temaer fra sjakkhistorie og stillinger til celebriteter på andre områder.

Passer nok også glimrende til å teste og hygge seg med alene. En del er kanskje ganske enkelt. Annet er nok slett ikke enkelt.

Forlagets egen omtale:

The most famous team ever participating in a chess pub quiz was MC Hammer. The team members are pretty decent chess players and happened to know their bit of chess trivia and chess history. Do you know or can you guess their names?

This book offers a collection of hundreds of chess trivia and chess-related trivia. You can use it by yourself, solving puzzles. Or you can use the book for multiple thematic pub quizzes at your local chess café or chess club.

Enjoy. The best game ever.

Grandmaster Dimitri Reinderman won the Dutch championship in 2013, is one of the few chess players with purple (or blue) hair, and loves games. During the pandemic, he created the holiday season in-house chess pub quiz for New In Chess publishers.
