WELCOME TO HARDINGE SIMPOLE Chess may have the most extensive literature of any game, sport or pastime; part of our mandate is to rescue from oblivion any worthwhile publication by the pen of an acknowledged master of chess writing; and, to give an opportunity to talented writers who would otherwise have found it difficult to get into print, in Chess and in other disciplines. Hardinge Simpole has commercial aims, but we do not rely on the mass market for all our books. We are fully prepared to commit to what may be caviar to the general, so long as the product is indeed genuine. With our blend of the classic and the experimental Hardinge Simpole strives at all times to offer quality.
