Maróczy, Géza / Chalupetzky, Ferenc: "A GYŐRI SAKK-KONGRESSZUS, NEMZETKÖZI MESTERVERSENY ÉS FŐTORNA 1924". Sakktörténeti cikkek. A mesterverseny összes, a főtorna válogatott játszmái. A nemzeti feladványverseny eredménye. Sakkfeladvány műszótár. MARÓCZY GÉZA és többek közreműködésével szerkesztette CHALUPETZKY FERENC.
Györ, A Győri Sakkör Kiadása, 1925. Limited and numbered edition with original deluxe (this information is based on a former ebay auction, which sold a copy with binding identical) half cloth bound edition, with raised bands, gold title spine, and with top edge gilt. Front cover of the softback edition + 11 leaves photographs (8 before the Title page, and 3 between Előszó page and Prologue page) + 582 pages (really 614, as each of the 145-160 pages have in addition another page with the same numbering/a and another with the same numbering/b) + 2 unnumbered publisher pages. 23,4 x 16,5 cm. In Hungarian, with all 105 games of the Main Tournament commented in German (in pages 200-201, 222-230, 233-241, 244-252, 255-262, 265-273, 276-283, 286-292, 296-302, 305-312, 315-322, 324-330, 333-341, 343-350, 353-359 and 362-369).
Very good: Please look carefully at the photos below, as all the defects of the book are photographed: very slightly worn binding, some browning inside, normal for this type of paper used at the time, very few pages with some minimal tear (nothing important), and very few pages with any ink marks (I don't think there are more than a dozen) and only more visible on pages 528-529. Otherwise, a copy in very good condition considering the quality of the edition of that time and the age of the book, of a rare and desired Tournament book. I have seen several copies of this Edition in my life, and always with relatively important defects. Although there will surely be some in better condition, this is by far the best I have seen.
L/N 5366.
RARE, VERY SCARCE AND EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND, ESPECIALLY THE NUMBERED AND LIMITED LUXURY EDITION!! In September 2017 I sold a copy with identical binding, but without numbering, and in a clearly worse condition than the current copy, for 550 EUR!!
Was published another book version (L/N 5365) of this Tournament, entirely in German, although much more light with only 122 pages (the book of this auction has 614), and practically only the games commented. In addition, only have 2 photographs (the book of this auction has 11).
Spectacular book on 1924 Győr Tournament, divided in four sections: History, Games, Problems and sundry articles.
1- Very extensive and important section on the origins of chess in Hungary, in the first 160 pages, with numerous tournament crosstables.
2- A great introduction to the tournament (between pages 161-218).
3- Excellent games analysis (between pages 219-387).
4- Very important section of chess problems, a kind of Encyclopedia in alphabetical order, of all kinds of terms relating to the composition of chess problems (between pages 388-501).
5- Pages 526-593 contain a complete list of Hungarian Chess literature (122 items).
ONE OF THE CHESS TOURNAMENT BOOKS MORE SCARCE AND DIFFICULT TO FIND!!!
PRICE IN SOME AUCTIONS EXCEEDS 400 EUROS WITH THE SOFTBACK BINDING!!!
