Publisher's paper wrappers. - -- - After defeating David Janowski by a score of +8 -5 =4 in Janowski - Marshall, Match 2 (1905), Marshall issued a challenge to Tarrasch. The match between the then 8th (Marshall) and 3rd strongest players in the world, would be won by the first player to score eight wins. Marshall's credentials as an elite player had been made out through his performance at the strong Cambridge Springs (1904) tournament. This he had won by a two points margin, ahead of World Champion Emanuel Lasker who came second equal (+9 -2 =4) with Janowski. Marshall had also beaten the world champion in their first individual game at Paris 1900. The playing venue was the Kleine Saal (Small Hall) of the "Rosenau" in Nuremberg, Germany. The stakes were 2,000 Marks each side, and the winner to take it all. The winner being the first to win 8 games, but if the player were tied at 7 wins each, the match would then be drawn and the stake divided. The match was played five days in the week: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Play began at 11 am and continued until a 5 pm adjournment, recommencing again at 8 pm. If play continued until 11 pm, the match director had to decide the arrangement of the further adjournment depending on the expected length of the remainder of the game. If a game was adjourned for a second time, then only this and no other game would be played on the next playing day. Each player was allowed to take three breaks during the match; every break had to be announced until 10:30 am of the playing day, and then that day would be a free day. The time-control was a reflective 3 hours for the first 40 moves, thereafter one hour for the next 14 moves.

[2] 300 p. with chess diagrams. Second edition. Publisher's paper wrappers. - - - After the German Championship at Leipzig in 1894, the committee of the Nuremberg Chess Club, of which Tarrasch was a member, had lobbied heavily to obtain the next championship in 1896. After St Petersburg it seemed to Tarrasch that his home ground was a perfect setting for restoring him to chess supremacy, so the club set out to attract the best players available including the four contestants at St Petersburg. Interest was high and thirty-nine masters sent in their entries. Twenty were chosen, but at the last minute two of these - Berthold Englisch, the veteran German master, and Amos Burn, the English master - had to withdraw. But to the remaining eighteen, in order that every player might enjoy a day off, the committee, on the recommendation of Moroczy then entering his first master tournament, added the young Budapest player Rudolph Charousek, who, although he was not yet able to contend for a prize, certainly had his moments. Also among the contestants was the veteran Simon Winawer, who had submitted his entry at Hastings but had requested to be allowed to play under an assumed name? His request was denied, but one wonders if he was being hounded by creditors and what disguise he would have assumed to avoid them! Other additions to the field were the nominal U S Champion, Jackson W Schowalter and two German veterans, Schallopp and Porges. Of the absent only Burn was missed. A tournament misfortune was Teichmann's illness which ruined his chances in the early rounds. While he scored only two points in the first 16 rounds, he doubled that score in the last three! There was one other temporary fly in the ointment. Because of their great effort to make the championship tournament a success, the Nuremberg committee did not want to assume responsibility for holding the Hauptturnier and the other minor tournaments, which were customarily the adjunct to the biennial championships. This intramural squabble led to the angry departure of Max Lange and other leaders of the association to Eisenach, where they held a "rump" of minor tournaments.

Soft cover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Tarrasch, Dr. (Siegbert): Der Schachwettkampf Tarrasch-Mieses im Herbst 1916 Mit ausführlichen Erlauterungen herausgegeben von Dr. Tarrasch. Nebst einer Abhandlung über die französische und schottische Eröffnung. Leipzig, 1916. Veit & Comp. 1 plate [6] 102 [2] p. with chess diagrams. First edition. Publisher's paper cover. Siegbert Tarrasch defeated Jacques Mieses (+7-2 =4) in Berlin in their match of 1916; prize was half pound of butter. Siegbert Tarrasch was a German chess player, considered to have been among the strongest ones, and one of the most influential chess theoreticians of the late 19th and early 20th century. Tarrasch may have been the best player in the world in the early 1890s. He scored heavily against the ageing World Champion Wilhelm Steinitz in tournaments but refused an opportunity to challenge Steinitz for the world title in 1892 because of the demands of his medical practice. Jacques Mieses (1865 -1954) was a German-born British chess player. He was one of the inaugural recipients of the title International Grandmaster from FIDE in 1950. His early successes as an adult chess player included a tie for second at Leipzig and third at Nuremberg in 1888. However, he was quickly eclipsed by two rising young superstars, Emanuel Lasker and Siegbert Tarrasch. Mieses attained maturity as a player in 1895, just after turning 30, when he contested the 9th Chess Congress in Leipzig, followed by an exhibition tour in Russia and then a match with David Janowski. His participation in the great Hastings tournament that year was important to his growth as a mature chess master despite a 20th-place finish. When FIDE first awarded the grandmaster title in 1950, Mieses was one of the 27 original recipients, and the oldest of them. ( O,O ) /)__) , ,
