Whyld Christmas - Reprint of Ken Whyld's Christmas Series

By the chess booklets which Ken Whyld gave his friends all over the world as a yearly Christmas present he resumed the tradition of Alain C. White's famous Christmas series. As original copies of the Whyld series are extremely rare, we are very pleased that an initiative of the KWA on the occasion of Ken Whyld’s 80th birthday was successful in so far as now [May 2006] a reprint of all 17 booklets is available, united in one volume and published by Vlastimil Fiala’s Publishing House Moravian Chess (Olomouc).
[476 p., bound edition; ISBN 80-7189-559-8. © Caissa-90 and Ken Whyld Association]
