The following information is taken from an email, sent by David Li to
me, March 1996 (with some minor editing by me).
David H. Li wrote two books on
Kriegspiel.
The first one, "Kriegspiel - Chess Under
Uncertainty," (144 pages) was published in 1994 to critical acclaim.
Following that success, he wrote a companion volume, "Chess Detective -
Kriegspiel Strategies, Endgames, and Problems," (191 pages), 1995. Both
volumes may be purchased from
Premier Publishing Company, P O Box 341267, Bethesda MD 20827, USA.
Each volume is at £ 12 (or its equivalent in European currency), excluding
postage.
To further promote the game, David Li wrote an article, "Kriegspiel," which
appeared in the October 1995 issue of Chess Monthly (London). He also
published a 12-page 8-1/2 x 11, 3-column journal entitled "Kriegspiel
Connoisseur," in August 1995. ( £ 2.50 airpost paid.) It features a
Kriegspiel game from Sir Robert Robinson, the Nobel laureate in Chemistry
and one-time president of the British Chess Federation; the game is fully
annotated. Another Brilliancy game was also annotated, along with endgames
and problems, etc.
David Li hopes to host a centennial Kriegspiel tournament
in London in 1998. For
this purpose he was in London last July to test its feasibility. Details of
that visit were included in the "Kriegspiel Connoisseur" referenced above.
