Richard Forster, who was born in 1975, is an International Master. His chess biography "Amos Burn", published in 2004, received critical acclaim all over the world. His new 576-page work, "Schachgesellschaft Zürich. 1809 bis 2009" required several years' meticulous research. He recounts two centuries of chess in Zurich and, more generally, in Switzerland, whilst focussing on the milestones in the history of the Zurich Chess Club. In addition to containing many games, the book is illustrated with numerous pictures and charts.
