Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 95 pages with diagrams, photographs and tables. Small octavo (7 3/4" x 4 1/4") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. (Bibliotheca van der Linde-Niemeijeriana:5669) first edition. In the wake of the World War, the chess club at Hastings reorganized their year-end congress…to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Hastings (1895). The master section was also intended as a warm-up for London A (1946) and London B (1946). The Russians had been invited, but did not turn up. The World Champion Alexander Alekhine was not invited (due to alleged Nazi sympathies), while the Czechoslovak champion Karel Opocensky arrived two days late. There was no play scheduled on Sundays, and no double rounds. Euwe-Sergeant was played on Sunday, January 6, as Euwe during rounds 6 and 7 went to see his sister who was coming home after four years as a prisoner in a Japanese internment camp in Java. Controller of play was Arthur John Mackenzie. The unknown Swede Ekström made an outstanding run with 9/11, but the loss to Tartakower in round 5 was decisive. Some reporters thought that Tartakower now had captured the world crown, but this picture soon changed. Condition: Corners bumped and rubbed, spine ends rubbed else a very good.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 280 pages with diagrams, tables, photographs and index. Royal Octavo (9 3/4" x 6 1/2") bound in original publisher's reddish brown cloth with gilt lettering to spine and front cover. Forewords by A De Roos and T Rutten. Preface by H J Van Steenis. (Bibliotheca Van der Linde-Niemeijer…iana: 5790) First edition. In the winter of 1950 Lodewijk Prins, backed by a committee presided over by Hendrik Jan Van Steenis, organized an international chess tournament that was held at the stock exchange in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Invitations went out to all the strongest chess masters of the day, whether they reside in Europe, the Soviet Union, or the Americas. The Soviet Chess Federation declined the invitations sent to their masters (they would refrain from entering international competitions until late 1952), as did Lazslo Szabo. Nevertheless, the eventual line-up was still one of the finest selections to be found of the best, active Western chess masters of the day. The field was notable also for the healthy mix of both early century chess mastery and post-war talent emerging for the next generation. All of the best Dutch masters were present, including former world champion Max Euwe and the recent Hoogovens champion, 23 year old Jan Hein Donner. Another example of the generational split among the players was the presence of Savielly Tartakower, who had played against all the greats of the early 20th century, and his former pupil Miguel Najdorf who journeyed from Argentina to attend the event. Other notable participants both young and old were Samuel Reshevsky from the United States, Swedish champion Gideon Stahlberg, Yugoslavian players Svetozar Gligoric and Vasja Pirc, and Belgium's strongest master Alberic O'Kelly de Galway. All twenty players participated in the round robin event from November 11th to December 9th. G. van Harten served as wedstrijdleider (chief arbiter). The event was a spectacular run for Najdorf, who won clear first undefeated with 15 points out of 19 rounds. He earned wins against half the field, further cementing his status as one of the best players in the world at the time (there had been controversy surrounding his absence from the 1948 world championship tournament). However, Najdorf only finished one point ahead of clear second place Reshevsky who also finished undefeated, scoring an impressive 9 wins in the process. Stahlberg also had 9 wins, but tragically could not share second place with Reshevsky by a measly half point (a half point he failed to win in his draw with Tartakower where the good doctor blundered a pawn in an opening experiment but then tenaciously defended). Other masters who placed in the top standings were Pirc and Gligoric as shared 4th and Euwe and Herman Pilnik as shared 6th. The brilliancy prize of the tournament went to Nicolas Rossolimo from France in his sixth round win against Dutch player Theo Daniel Van Scheltinga. Rossolimo maneuvered for 55 moves in a Caro-Kann, achieving a won endgame with a pushed passed pawn and a temporary queen sac in the finale. The tournament can be seen as a transitional gem, when the austere mastery of the pre-War years would soon give way (but not this year!) to the competitive talents of next generation and the Soviet Chess Machine of the 1950s. Condition: Pages rippled, corners bumped else a very good copy.

All twenty players participated in the round robin event from November 11th to December 9th. G. van Harten served as wedstrijdleider (chief arbiter). The tournament saw some interesting stories and turns as international events before the war often had: Eugenio Szabados attended the event considering it his vacation (a true chess tourist! though his draws against the tournament first and second place were well earned). British champion Harry Golombek was the victim of a practical joke wherein a particular opponent was suspected of ordering Golombek a glass of milk to be delivered before dawn of their encounter. Anecdotes aside, the event was a spectacular run for Najdorf, who won clear first undefeated with 15 points out of 19 rounds. He earned wins against half the field, further cementing his status as one of the best players in the world at the time (there had been controversy surrounding his absence from the 1948 world championship tournament).

Condition: Sehr gut. 2. Auflage. 368 Seiten mit einem Titelporträt und 320 graphischen Darstellungen. 20,8 cm. Sehr guter Zustand. - José Raúl Capablanca y Graupera (* 19. November 1888 in Havanna; 8. März 1942 in New York) war ein kubanischer Schachspieler und Diplomat. Von 1921 bis 1927 war er der dritte Schachweltmeister. Leb…en: Capablanca war der Sohn eines spanischen Kolonialbeamten. Er galt als Wunderkind und erlernte das Schachspielen schon mit vier Jahren. Angeblich soll er sich dies durch bloßes Zusehen bei den Spielen seines Vaters selbst beigebracht haben, was von Capablanca selbst in späteren Jahren jedoch ins Reich der Fabel verwiesen wurde. Tatsache ist jedoch, dass er bereits in sehr jungen Jahren über eine beachtliche Spielstärke verfügte. Capablanca gewann im Alter von zwölf Jahren einen Wettkampf gegen den kubanischen Landesmeister Juan Corzo 4:3 bei sechs Remisen. Später studierte er an der Columbia University in New York Chemie und Sport. Im Jahr 1909 gewann er einen Wettkampf gegen den führenden amerikanischen Meister Frank Marshall deutlich mit 8-1 bei 14 Remisen. Der internationale Durchbruch gelang ihm beim Turnier in San Sebastián 1911, welches er vor bekannten Meistern wie Akiba Rubinstein, Milan Vidmar und Carl Schlechter gewann. Ab 1913 stand er im diplomatischen Dienst Kubas, konnte sich aber de facto völlig dem Schach widmen. Im April/Mai 1914 fand in St. Petersburg eines der bedeutendsten Turniere der Schachgeschichte statt. Capablanca erreichte im allgemeinen Turnier einen Vorsprung von 1 Punkten gegenüber Weltmeister Emanuel Lasker. Lasker machte im Siegerturnier der besten fünf Spieler jedoch den Rückstand wieder wett, besiegte Capablanca und wurde mit 13 Punkten aus 18 Partien, einen halben Punkt vor Capablanca, Turniersieger. 1921 gewann Capablanca in einem Wettkampf gegen Lasker (4 Siege, 10 Unentschieden, keine Niederlage) den Weltmeistertitel. Diesen verlor er 1927 in Buenos Aires an Alexander Aljechin (3:6 bei 25 Remispartien). Zu einem Revanchekampf kam es nicht mehr, da sich Capablanca und Aljechin nicht auf die Modalitäten einigen konnten; manche Autoren sprechen davon, dass Aljechin einem Revanchekampf bewusst auswich. Capablanca gehörte noch bis Mitte der 1930er Jahre zur Weltspitze. So gewann er 1936 stark besetzte Turniere in Moskau (alleiniger Sieger vor Botwinnik) und Nottingham (geteilt mit Botwinnik). Während des AVRO-Turniers 1938 erlitt er einen ersten leichten Schlaganfall, war dadurch beeinträchtigt und belegte nur den vorletzten Platz. Im Jahr 1942 erlitt Capablanca beim Kiebitzen im Manhattan Chess Club einen weiteren Schlaganfall, von dem er sich nicht mehr erholte. Er starb in derselben Klinik wie Lasker ein Jahr zuvor. Seine letzte Ruhestätte befindet sich auf dem Kolumbus-Friedhof von Havanna. Ehen: Capablanca heiratete 1921 seine erste Ehefrau Gloria Simioni y Betancourt, mit der er wenige Monate vor der Ehe durch den kubanischen Minister Gonzalo de Quesada bekanntgemacht worden war. Sie stammte aus einer Familie kubanischer Patrioten, die für ihre Verdienste im Unabhängigkeitskrieg ausgezeichnet worden war. Die Ehe, aus der zwei Kinder hervorgingen, wurde 1937 geschieden. Am 20. Oktober 1938 heiratete er in New York seine zweite Ehefrau Olga Chagodaev (geb. Choubaroff) (* 23. September 1898 in Georgien, 24. April 1994 in Manhattan), eine russische Prinzessin, die er 1934 kennengelernt hatte. Spiel: Capablancas Stil war sehr solide. Er spielte mit großer Leichtigkeit und galt in seiner besten Zeit zwischen 1914 und 1924 als kaum zu schlagen. Er selbst behauptete, in Endspielen bis zu 25 Züge (nicht Halbzüge) vorauszurechnen. Wegen seines präzisen Spiels wurde Capablanca auch die Schachmaschine genannt. Von 1914 bis 1927 verlor er nur fünf Turnierpartien, von 578 ernsten Partien insgesamt nur 36.nik war Capablanca auch für seine sogenannten petites combinaisons bekannt: kurzzügige, nicht besonders komplizierte Kombinationen, die aber weit im Voraus gesehen werden mussten. Ein Beispiel aus Capablancas Jugendzeit ist seine Partie gegen Ettlinger, die 1907 in New York gespielt wurde. In der Diagrammstellung folgte 1. Sa5c4 Ein Bauernopfer, um den König über das Feld d5 aktivieren zu können. 2. Se3xc4 d5xc4 3. Tb4xc4 Ke6d5 4. Tc4c8 Kd5e4 5. Tc8e8+ Ke4d3 6. Te8xe2 f3xe2+ Überflüssige Figuren wurden abgetauscht, der schwarze König dringt in die Stellung ein und unterstützt den weit vorgerückten Freibauern. 7. Kd1e1 Lb6c7 8. Ld2f4 Lc7a5 9. Lf4d2 f5f4! Eine petite combinaison. Weiß kann weder das weitere Vorrücken dieses Bauern zulassen, noch ihn mit dem Läufer schlagen, da der Bauer c3 hängt. 10. g3xf4 La5d8 Die Pointe, es droht entscheidend Lh4 matt. Weiß gab auf. Capablanca war überzeugt, Schach werde seinen Reiz verlieren, wenn künftig aufgrund der hohen Spieltechnik der Schachmeister die meisten Partien remis endeten (Remistod des Schachspiels). Daher schlug er eine Schachvariante auf einem größeren Brett mit zusätzlichen Figuren vor, um das Spiel noch komplizierter zu gestalten. Zwar setzte sich diese Variante nicht durch, einige moderne Varianten zum herkömmlichen Schach bauen aber auf ihr auf. Die weitere Entwicklung zeigte aber, dass Capablanca die Komplexität des Schachspiels unterschätzt hatte; bis heute ist seine Befürchtung des Remistods, auch unter Berücksichtigung der enormen Spielstärke des Computerschachs, nicht Wirklichkeit geworden. Seine höchste historische Elo-Zahl von 2877 erreichte Capablanca im Mai 1921 nach dem Gewinn der Weltmeisterschaft gegen Lasker. . . . Aus: wikipedia-José_Raúl_Capablanca. -- - Machgielis (Max) Euwe (* 20. Mai 1901 in Amsterdam; 26. November 1981 ebenda) war ein niederländischer Schachspieler, von 1935 bis 1937 fünfter Schachweltmeister sowie von 1970 bis 1978 Präsident des Weltschachbundes FIDE. 1919 gab er sein Debüt bei der Meisterschaft der Niederlande, 1921 gewann er sie erstmals. Insgesamt konnte er diesen Titel bis 1955 zwölfmal, davon sechsmal in ununterbrochener Folge, erringen und ist damit Rekordhalter. Im Jah.
