Und wieder hat es Thinker's Press gesschafft ! Ich weiß nicht woran es liegt, aber die Publicationen von diesem amerikanischen Verlang sind einfach herrlich anders. Diesmal wieder etwas für Schachhistoriker. Über 2500 meisterhafte Partien, welche im Zeitraum von 1880 und 1902 ausgefochten wurden, wurden in der Schachspalte der Zeitung "Brooklyn Daily Eagle" veröffentlich. VSo gut wie alle Partien wurden von damaligen Meisern analysiert und für diese Zeitung kommentiert. Einzigartige Zeitdokumente, welche man in keiner der bisherigen Datenbanken findet. Viele Partien davon sind selbst in der so hochgelobten Megabase nicht enthalten. Danke Bob, für dieses tolle Zeitdokument !
Brooklyn Daily Eagle 1880-1902
Publisher: Thinkers' Press, 2011
Edition: CBF
Language: English
2,521 games/fragments on one CD from the Brooklyn Daily Eagle (newspaper) edited by Hermann Helms. ChessBase format
John Blackstone, a Life Master now residing in Las Vegas, sent me a couple thousand games he input (!) from the Brooklyn Daily Eagle archives; an onerous task if ever there were one. We believe, and found, that there were people who are interested in chess history; this newspaper, whose chess column was edited by the master Hermann Helms, was perhaps the best. John input the games and also mentioned which issue of the BDE it came from if you want to look at notes and other commentary, which would have taken him years to complete. I began annotating some of these games and used them later in several issues of The Chess Gangs of New York and London. Of course once it was determined people liked this small publication, I annotated more of them for the print version only. The main period was about 1880 to 1902: Lasker, Blackburne, Steinitz, Pillsbury, Chigorin, Hodges, Showalter, and such characters as you might see in Lasker & His Contemporaries. Interestingly not all these games are in ChessBase (thank God).
