Book Synopsis Ignaz Kolisch by : Fabrizio Zavatarelli
Download or read book Ignaz Kolisch written by Fabrizio Zavatarelli and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-10-27 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An enthusiastic verve—“brio” some could say—marked both Ignaz Kolisch’s personality and his games. This book documents the life of the Hungarian chess champion (1837–1889) and successful financier, setting it in the cosmopolitan framework of mid–19th century Europe. The text is enriched by about 125 or so gleanings about the lives of his competitors (including Arnous de Rivière, Anderssen, Morphy, Mackenzie, Paulsen, Falkbeer, Rosenthal, Steinitz, Winawer). More than 300 specimens of his play are presented—by far the largest collection ever—complete with sources and coeval annotations, translated from many languages. Several widespread and long-standing errors are corrected. A work deeply researched among sources in many languages, the book serves also as a record of European chess in the late 1850s through the 1880s.

Book Synopsis Die Feuilletons von Ignaz Kolisch by : Fabrizio Zavatarelli
Download or read book Die Feuilletons von Ignaz Kolisch written by Fabrizio Zavatarelli and published by Edition Marco/Verlag Arno Nickel. This book was released on 2020-06-22 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ignaz Kolisch (1837-1889) lebte vier Leben: er war ein Schachspieler von Weltklasse, außergewöhnlich erfolgreiches Finanzgenie, großzügiger Rentier und, schließlich, Journalist aus Leidenschaft - was so weit ging, dass er eine Tageszeitung kaufte, die Wiener Allgemeine Zeitung, und in den Jahren 1886-1888 die sonntäglichen Feuilletons schrieb. Seine Feder, gleichsam gutmütig und frech, locker und prickelnd, wechselte zwischen persönlichen Erinnerungen, Gesellschaftskritik, politischer und sozialer Polemik sowie der Finanzwelt. Daraus resultiert ein farbenprächtiges Bild Westeuropas in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts. Ein Vorwort, Bilder, Anhänge und mehr als 1000 Fußnoten runden diese Wiederentdeckung ab.
Book Synopsis Chess Rivals of the 19th Century by : Tony Cullen
Download or read book Chess Rivals of the 19th Century written by Tony Cullen and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2020-12-04 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many historical chess books focus on individual 19th century masters and tournaments yet little is written covering the full scope of competitive chess through the era. This volume provides a comprehensive overview, with more than a third of the 300 annotated games analyzed by past masters and checked by powerful engines. Players such as Max Lange and Cochrane, known to the chess public only by the name given to a fierce attack or gambit, are brought to life. Fifty masters are each given their own chapter, with brief biographies, results and anecdotes and an endgame section for most chapters.
Book Synopsis Chess Theory from Stamma to Steinitz, 1735-1894 by : Frank Hoffmeister
Download or read book Chess Theory from Stamma to Steinitz, 1735-1894 written by Frank Hoffmeister and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2023-08-11 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most chess biographies present the games of famous players--but not their writings. Filling that gap, this book begins with Syrian master and author of chess studies Philip Stamma, and finishes with the first world champion William Steinitz. The main novelties in opening, middlegame and endgame theory in the 160 year period are examined and biographical sketches put the contributions of more than 30 masters into context. The author presents many new insights--for example, regarding the origins of the Ponziani Opening, the Dutch Defense and the Petroff Defense. French star La Bourdonnais used other sources for almost every part of his Nouveau Traite. Morphy's analysis of the Philidor Defense was faulty and Anderssen's play included many positional ideas. Harrwitz and Neumann published modern treatises long before Steinitz came out with his Modern Chess Instructor. Many ending themes belong to less well-known authors, such as Cozio, Chapais, van Zuylen van Nyevelt, Sarratt, Kling and Horwitz, Berger and Salvio.
Download or read book Steinitz in London written by Tim Harding and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2020-07-17 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on new research, this first biography of William Steinitz (1836-1900), the first World Chess Champion, covers his early life and career, with a fully-sourced collection of his known games until he left London in 1882. A portrait of mid-Victorian British chess is provided, including a history of the famous Simpson's Divan. Born to a poor Jewish family in Prague, Steinitz studied in Vienna, where his career really began, before moving to London in 1862, bent on conquering the chess world. During the next 20 years, he became its strongest and most innovative player, as well as an influential writer on the game. A foreigner with a quarrelsome nature, he suffered mockery and discrimination from British amateur players and journalists, which eventually drove him to immigrate to America. The final chapters cover his subsequent visits to England and the last three tournaments he played there.

Book Synopsis British Chess Literature to 1914 by : Tim Harding
Download or read book British Chess Literature to 1914 written by Tim Harding and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2018-04-02 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A huge amount was published about chess in the United Kingdom before the First World War. The growing popularity of chess in Victorian Britain was reflected in an increasingly competitive market of books and periodicals aimed at players from beginner to expert. The author combines new information about the early history of the game with advice for researchers into chess history and traces the further development of chess literature well into the 20th century. Topics include today's leading chess libraries and the use of digitized chess texts and research on the Web. Special attention is given to the columns that appeared in newspapers (national and provincial) and magazines from 1813 onwards. These articles, usually weekly, provide a wealth of information on early chess, much of which is not to be found elsewhere. The lengthy first appendix, an A to Z of almost 600 chess columns, constitutes a detailed research aid. Other appendices include corrections and supplements to standard works of reference on chess.

The new edition contains 25 percent more lists, games, diagrams and annotations. The majority of lists from the first edition have been updated or expanded--or both.
Book Synopsis Joseph Henry Blackburne by : Tim Harding
Download or read book Joseph Henry Blackburne written by Tim Harding and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-08-13 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During a career spanning more than 50 years, J.H. Blackburne (1841–1924) won the British Chess Championship and several international tournaments, at his peak becoming one of the world’s top three chess masters. A professional player who derived his livelihood from annual tours of chess clubs in England and other countries, entertaining and teaching amateur players, he astonished his contemporaries by the ease with which he played the game without sight of the chessboard. At 21, he set a world record for such exhibitions, competing against 12 club players simultaneously, and he continued to perform “blindfold” into his sixties. This first comprehensive biography of Britain’s greatest chess player of the 19th and early 20th centuries presents more than 1,000 of Blackburne’s games chronologically, including all his surviving games from serious competition, annotated in varying detail. Many are masterpieces containing beautiful combinations and instructive endgame play. Blackburne’s unusual family and social background are fully explored.
