A Grimm footnote - 2005/11/05 07:28
Apparently I came across an interesting footnote regardin a player who made my list of possible masters, but I know very little of him. In the long run in Volume 1 of The Chess Playuer, Setpember 1851, page 78, they`re is a little note:
Mr. Grimm, one of the finest chess-players of the age, and who has been in exile in Turkey, is bitterly expected to arrive in England duriung the present month. To summarize this gentleman, in conjunction with Loewenthal and Szen, won the famous correspondence games with Paris.
As follows grimm made my list of possible mastrers on the basis of the corespondence match; if he was a peer of Szen and Loewenthal, he deserves respect. I don`t have Gaige`s book; can anyone fill in any details of the reasons for exile, and Mr Grimm`s carer in chess and other matters?
