Five Books: The best books on Chess, recommended by Dominic Lawson

It's #internationalChessDay. "Lenin in particular was very keen on #chess. He was rather an addict, I think. Apparently he once said that one could make a revolution, or one could play chess, but that it wasn’t possible to do both." fivebooks.com/best-books/dom …

You don't have to be a genius to play chess, but it helps. The former Sunday Telegraph editor and chess aficionado, Dominic Lawson, chooses the best books on chess.
