The Berlin chess master Ludwig Bledow (1795 - 1846) was a co-founder of the Berlin chess school and founded the first German chess magazine in 1846. In 1839 and 1840 two correspondence games were played between Berlin and Posen, which were won by Berlin. Although the annotations of the two games are important for the study of the King's Bishop Game and the Bishop's Gambit, the appendix is also important. It contains a collection of all the correspondence printed in various magazines up to that time.
Condition: Paper yellowed. Some penned notes in "Chess Problems". From the Rimington-Wilson Library.
