DESCRIPTION

Forster, Richard: "Schachgesellschaft Zürich 1809 bis 2009".

Eine helvetische Schachgeschichte in zwei Jahrhunderten mit einem Turnier- und Personenlexikon. Festschrift 200 Jahre Schachgesellschaft Zürich (Half Title). VIII (including Half Title page and Title page) + 568 pages. In German. Zürich, Schachgesellschaft Zürich, 2009. 

"Founded in 1809, the Zurich Chess Club is the world’s oldest chess organization. Throughout its two centuries of existence it has been a meeting point for many remarkable personalities in the fields of art, literature, science, economy, politics and chess. This historical text examines how the club, a driving force behind Swiss chess, also became a major player on the international chess scene. Topics covered include the storied development of the club, its outstanding members and its memorable activities. Its historical tournaments are covered in-depth, including such competitions as those held in 1934 (Lasker, Alekhine, Euwe), 1953 (Smyslov, Bronstein, Reshevsky) and 1959 (Tal, Fischer, Keres). The tournament history culminates in the spectacular bicentenary celebrations in summer 2009, featuring the world champions Spassky, Karpov, Kasparov, Kramnik, Anand and Topalov."
