No other chess tournament has such a long and rich history as the annual gathering at the English seaside resort of Hastings. The stories begin in 1895 when the young American Harry Pillsbury shocked the European chess elite with his victory and span 125 years. German FM Jürgen Brustkern has been making the annual pilgrimage to Hasting ever since 1977. Together with his compatriot Norbert Wallet, he describes the tournament's fascinating history and portrays forty of the most colorful participants. This collection of games and stories is enjoyed best in the dark days between Christmas and New Year's Eve, after a stroll on the beach, immersed in the spirit of Hastings.
