  • American Chess-Nuts
    AMERICAN CHESS-NUTS A COLLECTION OF PROBLEMS BY COMPOSERS OF THE WESTERN WORLD. EDITED BY E. B. COOK, W. R. HENRY, AND C. A. GILBERG. [ 1868 ] “Sweetest nut hath sourest rind.” An Electronic Edition Anders Thulin, Malmö · preliminary version AMERICAN CHESS-NUTS INTRODUCTION he most appropriate prelude to an opening of the Nuts, seems to be an account of how these leaves have grown and borne their fruit. T In February, 1859, the writer received a very interesting anonymous letter, calculated to excite the desire of becoming better acquainted with its author. “I do not know,” said the unknown, “whether you are a collector of Chess Curiosities. I hope you are not. And yet, I inconsis- tently enclose title and specimen pages of a Chess book that was neither printed nor published, and of which the only copy is to be found in my Chess library (eighty volumes, with prospects of a speedy increase to one hundred and thirty—all modern works of practical value.) This work is intended to consist of a pretty complete collection of such problems as have appeared in newspapers, etc. It now contains about four thousand positions; but whether I shall have the patience to make any great addition to this number, I cannot undertake to say, although my notation is concise enough to enable me to copy in one evening sometimes as many as a hundred problems and their solutions.” The title page referred to was in print, and read : “Chess-Nuts; a Collection of Problems and End Games.” In the Correspondence of the Problem Department of the Chess Monthly was inserted a notice to “Cryptograph, New York,” in which he was told that the writer “would be delighted to see —— at his residence.” This led to a second missive, signed by the real name of the mysterious correspondent.

Gilby (2–1) and lost a match to Charles Edward Ranken (0–2) at London 1851 (Provincial,Samuel Boden won).[9] Deacon won matches against Edward Löwe (7½–2½) in 1851, and Carl Mayet (5–2) in 1852.[10] He drew against Paul Morphy (1–1) in 1858.[11] He took 2nd, behind George Henry Mackenzie, at London 1862 (handicap),[12] shared 11th at London 1862 (the 5th BCA Congress, Adolf Anderssen won),[13] and lost a match to Wilhelm Steinitz (1½–5½) at London 1863.
