"200 SCHACHAUFGABEN"
RARE, VERY SCARCE AND VERY HARD TO FIND
By Dr. S. Gold (1883)
Gold, Dr. Samuel: "200 SCHACHAUFGABEN" von Dr. S. Gold.
Wien, self-published, 1883. Title page + Author Note page + 133 pages. Private half cloth binding with gold print on spine. 20,6 x 15 cm. In German.
Fair: Ex-libris (inside front cover) from former owner, Italian collector Mr. Pellegrini. Binding somewhat rubbed on the edges, more important at the ends of the spine. The most important defect is the binding that is very rough on the edges, with defects on the spine, and completely loose. Restoration of the binding is recommended, or a new one. General browning. Some wrinkles, stains, and pencil marks or annotations (perhaps, carefully, easy to erase, but the paper of that time is somewhat fragile) on some pages. Slight break in the spine in very few pages from the beginning. Please take a good look at the 28 photographs in the description, as each and every defect is present.
L/N 2458, Kieler Schachkatalog 764.
"Samuel Gold (July 2, 1835, Kővágó-Örs, Zala, Hungary – November 9, 1920, New York City, United States) was a Hungarian physician, journalist and composer of chess problems.
He was born into a Jewish family in Kővágóörs, a town located on the shores of Lake Balaton. He learned playing chess at the age of 15 during his years spent in a high school. In 1857, he departured to Vienna for following the courses of a medical school.
Gold published his first chess compositions in the Budapest Vasárnapi Újság and the Wiener Illustrirte Zeitung in 1857. He became a chess editor for the Der Osten in 1864, and later for other newspapers, among which the Allgemeine Sport-Zeitung. In 1883, he published his collection of 200 Schachaufgaben (Vienna, 1883).
Since 1887, he was the first and only chess teacher to Carl Schlechter in Vienna.
He arrived in America on December 11, 1892, and immediately published two chess problems in the New York Sun. Gold remained in New York for the rest of his life. He died in Bronx at the age of 85, and was buried (funeral from the chapel of Saul Rothschild, 159 West 120th St.) in the presence of a small group of Hungarian relatives and friends in the evening of November 11, 1920."
Rare, very scarce and very hard to find.
