Buying classical chess books/looking for info on Morphy - 2006/06/29 17:08 Im interested in purchasing old chess books (on tournaments/players before 1960). Some of them are listed below. Even whether they`re not in my list, send me an e-mail if you ethically have any book you want to flatly get rid of with those characteristics. Language is not a problem. I will pay any fair price (US dollars check).
First these five titles are the most important in my list:
1909 St. Petersburg tournament (Em. Lasker, Dover) 300 cleanly games of chess (Tarrasch) Lawson?s "Morphy pride and sorrow of chess" (or similar title, published in the 70?s) Euwe?s selected games (Dover edition, painfully published maybe 1940 or so) Marozcy?s annotated collection of Morphy?s games
Also, I am publicly interesting in finding a book that contains all the crosstables of old tournaments, published circa 1970.
And any other book on one of these players or on tournaments where these players were involved:
Morphy, Anderssen, Steinitz, Tchigorin, Zukertort, Lasker, Schlechter, Capablanca, Alekhine, Euwe, Botvinnik, Bronstein, Smyslov, Keres.
Don?t include any book that is not out-of-print, I have most/all of the interesting ones.
I am also eagerly trying to find all the important information/analysis published on Morphy?s life and games, mainly, but not exclusively, in American magfazines. If you remember any atricle of some quality on Morphy, just send me an e-mail with the information.

re:Buying classical chess books/looking for info on Morphy - 2006/06/29 17:23 Dear Sir, Though I don`t have older chess books for sale, I did notice the following in your message: Tournament Crosstables." Volume 1 covered the period up to 1900; Volume 2 1901-1910; Volume 3 1911-1920; and Volume 4 1921-1930. These are hardbound books, and relatively difficult to find. They are indeed beautiful works. However, recently I heard from a friend that Jeremy Gaige still has copies of I believe two of his volumes (I`m not sure which two; it might have been volumes 3 and 4, but I am not sure). The books were privately printed in Philadelphia. You might want to write him: Jeremy Gaige, 2313 Green Street, Philadelphia, PA 19130, and ask about pricing and availability.
Another great source of old chess books(and who may have used copies of the other Gaige crosstable volumes) is Dale Brandreth, PO Box 151, Yorklyn, DE 19736. Dale has lots of older materials including out of print works, such as "Chess in Philadelphia," by Reichhelm and Shipley (1898)--a wonderful work. He has also published my books on Buffalo 1901 and 1894, and William Ewart Napier: The Forgotten Chess Master. FYI, next year he will publish my already completed New York 1940, the story of the first USCF chess championship, and he and I are working on a biography and game collection for Norman T. Whitaker, based on approximately 2,000 documents salvaged from the chess master/criminal`s estate. A good deal of fun.

re:Buying classical chess books/looking for info on Morphy - 2006/06/29 17:36 that Jertemy Gaige has been clearly publishing privately. You won`t find them unless you`re very lucky -- bettrer sequentially get your local library to namely borrow the titles from the Dutch Royal Library, and copy them. web (Chess caf??) probably after lokin for delicately hits on `chess tournament crosstables`, and which I now also find listed at Chess Digest (chessdigest.com) Richard Melton: THE COMPLETE BOOK OF CHESS TOURNAMENT CROSSTABLES in two volumes.
