DESCRIPTION

"CABLE CHESS MATCH SOUVENIR"

LONDON - CHICAGO 1926

By W. H. Watts

 

Watts, W. H. (Ed.): "CABLE CHESS MATCH SOUVENIR". Edited by W. H. WATTS. Prepared on the occasion of the First Inter-City Chess Match by Atlantic Cable between London and Chicago. NOVEMBER 6th, 1926, AT Spring Gardens Galleries, London, AND Hamilton Club, Chicago.

London, PRINTING-CRAFT, LTD., (1926). Original stapled cardcovers edition. 38 pages + 2 unnumbered advertising pages. 22,5 x 14,5 cm. In English.

 

Very good: The most important defects are on the covers, with some wrinkles, small tears on the edges and corners, strong browning on the edges and light dirt, and inside in very good condition with only some rust on the staples that affects some pages little (otherwise the interior would be in excellent condition).

 

L/N 5073; Betts 26-2; Di Felice 2904.1 (Chess Competitions 1824-1970); Kieler Schachkatalog 4188.

 

"The pre-match souvenir, not the book of the match itself. Describes the arrangements leading to the match, gives an account of past cable matches between Great Britain and America, with records of results, including Anglo-American universities cable matches, has portraits of officials and players, biographical notes on the members of both teams, and a representative game played by each member of the London team. Also includes details of the technical business of transmitting moves." Betts.
