DESCRIPTION

"TOURNOI DE PARIS 1938"

In French by Georges Biro

EXTREMELY RARE AND SCARCE!!

 

Biro, Georges: "TOURNOI de PARIS 1938". Organisé par "L'ÉCHIQUIER DE PARIS" du 2 au 27 JUIN 1938. 105 parties commentées par Georges BIRO.

Paris, Robert Aimé, 1938. Original softback edition typescrit. Title page + 4 unnumbered pages + 55 pages (with 1 page 44 and another 44-bis). 27 x 21 cm. In French.

 

Good: The biggest flaw is the great browning of the edges of the covers. Some slight wrinkle and stain on top of page 50. Otherwise in good condition.

 

L/N 5592.

 

A curious thing is that "105 parties commentées (commented games)" appears on the front cover and on the Title page. Next in the Preface the Author apologizes as he acknowledges that 2 games are missing. However, when reviewing the book, only game 69 (Matweeff-Halberstadt) is missing, coinciding with ChessBase that it does not have that game either. Perhaps the Author in the Preface writes that 2 games are missing, but later he can reconstruct the game 96 Anglares-Golmayo, as mentioned on page 49 (see photo). So of the 105 games, 104 are present.

 

EXTREMELY RARE AND SCARCE!!

 

In the 32 editions of the Klittich-Pfankuch Auktion that I know, 2003 November - 2006 June, and 2008 November - 2020 November, a copy of this book was never auctioned.
