DESCRIPTION

"PRAHA 1943"

Velikonoční Mistrovský Šachový Turnaj v Praze 1943

By Luděk Pachman

The scarcest version of Prague 1943 books

 

Pachman, Luděk: "Velikonoční Mistrovský Šachový Turnaj v Praze 1943". In front cover: "PRAHA 1943". Velikonoční Šachový Mistrovský Turnaj ve dnech 10. až 30. Dubna 1943. Sostavil: Luděk Pachman.

Praha, (publisher not stated), 1944. Original softback edition. Mimeographed on cheap paper, (2), (4) pages of smaller size (= program of the tournament), title, VIII, 32, (2) pages. 29 x 20,9 cm. In Czech (program in both Czech and German).

 

Good: Covers somewhat soiled, with a few of small tears or chips around edges. Spine and lower part of the covers reinforced with cellophane. Some small wrinkle. Inside in good to very good condition. The photos will be added, at the latest, before 17:00 on Sunday 26.

 

Not in Soukup, Not in L/N. Mo 149; Di Felice 1745.4.

 

The book includes 4-page tournament program, written simultaneously in Czech and German, bound in at the title page (picture 3). The program is on better paper than the book. As almost always, two sheets with Index and Errata are missing. These sheets were printed later, after the book was published.

 

Strong international tournament, 20 players round robin – the winner was Alekhine 17 of 19 ahead of Keres 14.5, 3.Katetov, 4.-5.Foltys, Sajtar etc.

 

The book on Prague 1943 appears in 4 different variations (2x large size, size 14x20 with photos, size 14x20 cm without photos).

 

This is the scarcest one. In addition to other versions, it includes:

 

- program of the tournament bound in at the title page.

- detailed report about the thema tournament on the Kings Gambit, held after the international tournament, won by Pachman - with crosstable and 13 games.

- 3 photos, which are not in the other versions (pictures 1, 2).

 

At an LSAK auction of our dear friend Karel Mokry (June 9, 2019) it was sold for €450,00!!

 

Once again, I must thank Karel Mokry for his invaluable help (through files saved on my computer) in the drafting of this auction.
