DESCRIPTION

A selection of games at chess, actually played in London :

Walker, William Greenwood. A selection of games at chess, actually played in London, by the late Alexander M'Donnell ... with his principal contemporaries; including the whole of the games played by Mons. de la Bourdonnais and Mr. M'Donnell. With an appendix containing three games played by Mons. of Chapelles and Mr. Lewis, in 1821. Selected and arranged ... London, Hurst, 1836. 8 °. VII, 280 pages. Original blind embossed linen ribbon. Linde - N. 3144; van der Linde II, 76 f .; Schmid, p. 359. William Greenwood Walker was Hon. Secretary of the Westminster Chess Club. From the content: Games in which Mr. M'Donnell gives the odds of the rook. Games played blindfolded by Mr. M'Donnell. Games in which Mr. M'Donnell gives the odds of the Knight. Games in which Mr. M'Donnell gives the odds of one pawn and one or two moves. Match between Mr. M'Donnell and Mr. S ****, on even terms. Match between Mr. M'Donnell and Mons. de la Bourdonnais. 

Condition : Binding with some wear, the front cover is loose, the spine is missing. Needs a repair. Page 6+7 and 142+143 are affected with stronger browning as probably some acidic paper was laid in. Very few contemporary marginalia with black ink. Please look at the attached pictures, these are part of the description. Otherwise inside nice and clean. Overall Assessment = Still Good!

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.
