Diese Heftchenserie über bekannte Schachgrößen hat schon irgendwas. Ich kann es allerdings nicht genau beschreiben. Inhaltlich bin ich etwas enttäuscht, aber alleine wegen der Covergrafiken lohnt sich der Kauf. Auch hier sollten Sammler schnell zugreifen, da die Auflagen dieser Heftchen sehr gering ist.
