DESCRIPTION

"TORNEO INTERNACIONAL DE AJEDREZ"

SITGES 1934

VERY RARE, VERY SCARCE AND EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND!!

 

Medina, Antonio: "Torneo internacional de AJEDREZ de Sitges año 1934". Con 18 grabados y 19 diagramas.

Barcelona, C. SEITHER, 1935. Original softback edition. 8 photo pages (containing 18 photographs) + 72 pages (including Title page). 22 x 14,7 cm. In Spanish.

 

Good: Covers with an important foxing, especially on the edges and the spine. Foxing also slightly affects the book in general, although it is more important on the Title page (normal if there is a photograph in front) and on the first pages, and occasionally there are some small spots that are somewhat more accentuated. Some wrinkle and general browning. Pages cut by the binder with different measurements. Book slightly tilted to the right (from the spine). Otherwise, a book in good general condition, of one of the most desired Tournament books by collectors.

 

L/N 5482; Di Felice 2019.1 (Chess Competitions 1824-1970).

 

Authentic collector's gem, with the 90 games of the Tournament, some with annotations & diagrams. 1st Lilienthal; 2nd Rey; 3rd = Koltanowski & Tartakower; 5th SpielmannGood photos of the players, venue & town.

 

Rare, very scarce and extremely hard to find!! In the 33 editions of the Klittich-Pfankuch Auktion that I know, 2003 November - 2006 June, and 2008 November - 2021 June, a copy of this book was never auctioned. Also, I do not save any auction results for this book on EBAY or other auction houses on my PC. It is true that I do not save all of them, but I have a lot of material. And another detail that shows how difficult this book is to achieve is that in the 1980s a photocopied reprint was published in Germany, obviously with a much lower quality.
