DESCRIPTION

Twenty Years of the Rice Gambit :

Rice. Twenty Years of the Rice Gambit. In Memoriam Isaac Leopold Rice. Published by the American Chess Bulletin. New York, American Chess Bulletin, 1916. 8°. With 8 illustrations, 1 folded plate and a few diagrams. 399 pages. Wonderful tree quarter leather binding with title in gilt on spine. The book edges are all gilt too. Kieler Schachkat. 4236; Betts 15 - 14: "253 pages are devoted to analysis, and variations from practical play. The remainder deals with the history of the Gambit and the various contests in which it was exclusively used; includes tributes to Professor Rice." Die Falttafel zeigt "The Genealogical Tree of the Rice Gambit". 

In my opinion : The book is a testify of the bookbinding art! 

Condition : Corners slightly bumped. Otherwise inside very nice and clean. Overall Condition = Excellent! 

Postage EUR (insurance included) : Austria € 3,90; Germany € 9,90; other EU countries € 12,90; Non-EU countries please ask

I combine shipping – you always pay just real postage! The packing materials are free.

I send with the so called "Paketmarke" (for further information https://www.post.at/privat_versenden_paket_paketmarke.php) which is in general the most cost effective and reliable way to send parcels in Austria. One feature is that the shipment costs are defined via the the longest and the shortest side of the parcel. The weight isn´t important although it is limited to 31,5 kg. The parcel is also insured up to € 500,-.

  1. PM 045 = longest and the shortest side of the parcel are added max. 45 cm) GER=€9,90, other EU = €12,90
  2. PM 070 = longest and the shortest side of the parcel are added max. 70 cm) GER=€14,90, other EU = €17,90
  3. PM 120 = longest and the shortest side of the parcel are added max. 120 cm) GER=€19,90, other EU = €22,90

Therefore if you win more than 1 lot and the books fit into the same parcel, the shipment costs will be the same as for 1 book. 

Important : Please wait with payment until you get my confirmation email, as the shipping costs have to be calculated.
