An excellent biography of America's first world Chess Champion (unofficial). A study in a very troubled young man, who, like the champion who followed him over a century later, could defeat anyone over a chessboard but never bested his inner demons.

This book and tile set is based on the meaning of 25 hieroglyphic symbols. Although there is some basis in Ancient Egyptian mythology and religion, this is a modern-day divination system.
