La circunstancia de que este autor administrara una ajedrecería durante 38 años (1981-2019) favoreció la progresiva acumulación de materiales his- tóricos y de colección: todas las revistas argentinas de ajedrez, muy diversos libros de recortes, colecciones completas de diarios como La Nación y Crítica, importantes lotes de revistas ex- tranjeras (Chess, British Chess Magazine, Xadrez Brasileiro, Deutsche Schachblätter, Deutsche Schachzeitung, uruguayas, chilenas, cubanas, etc.), documentos oficiales y personales de grandes maestros. La llegada de la tecnología a fines de la década de 1990 facilitó el escaneo, digitalización y clasificación de los elementos, pero el ordenamiento final llevó no menos de 15 años. Los conceptos históricos y culturales que se insertan aquí se fundan en las profundas ideas del escritor Ezequiel Martínez Estrada (1895-1964), principalmente sobre la base de sus obras de las décadas del ’30 y del ’40.

  • Semmering 1926 & 1937 Extract and Extended Reprint of the Great Original by Jan Van Reek
    HEALTH RESORTS: Semmering 1926 & 1937 Extract and extended reprint of the great original by Jan van Reek, www.endgame.nl SEMMERING 1926 The southern road from Wien leads to the Semmering Pass. The Grand Hotel Panhans was built at the Semmering in 1888. This facility was used for a tournament of eighteen masters from 7 until 29 iii 1926. Spielmann’s name stood not on the first list of Bernstein! Later he was invited. Nimzowitsch and Tartakower led at first. Spielmann and Alekhine competed for the first prize then. Finally, Rudolf Spielman surprisingly won, ahead of Alekhine on second place. Vidmar sr. was sole third, followed by Nimzowitsch and Tartakower as fourth, Rubinstein and Tarrasch as sixth, in total 18 players contested: http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chesscollection?cid=1013596 (Chessgames) Grand Hotel Panhans at the Semmering Casino of Baden bei Wien in modern times SEMMERING / BADEN bei Wien 1937 Casinos had to spend a part of their income on cultural aims. And a chess tournament is relatively cheap and deluxe promotion. That was the base for many chess events in casinos. When Austrian casinos organised a grandmaster contest in 1937, chaos ruled. Some men got phony invitations at first. Only Capablanca was treated with respect. Matters were sorted out, before the tournament was played from 8 until 27 ix 1937. Eight excellent masters carried out double rounds. World champion Euwe was chief arbiter. When he left, Spielmann replaced him. The first four rounds were conducted at the Grand Hotel Panhans in Semmering, and then moved to the Hotel Grüner Baum in Baden bei Wien, Austria for the duration of the tournament.

Each letter can be finessed by a + or - giving 12 possible levels. The judgement will be subjective, of course, but based on decades of experience. F = Fine or nearly new // VG = very good // G = showing acceptable signs of wear. P = Poor, structural damage (loose covers, torn pages, heavy marginalia etc.) but still providing much of interest. AN = Algebraic Notation in which, from White’s point of view, columns are called a – h and ranks are numbered 1-8 (as opposed to the old descriptive system). Figurine, in which piece names are replaced by pictograms, is now almost universal in modern books as it overcomes the language problem. In this case AN may be assumed. pp = number of pages in the book.// ed = edition // insc = inscription – e.g. a previous owner’s name on the front endpaper. o/w = otherwise. dw = Dust wrapper It may be assumed that any book published in Russia will be in the Russian language, (Cyrillic) or an Argentinian book will be in Spanish etc. Anything contrary to that will be mentioned. PB = paperback. SB = softback i.e. a flexible cover that cannot be torn easily.

  • Chess Autographs
    Chess Autographs Welcome! My name is Gerhard Radosztics, I am living in Austria and I am a chess collector for many years. In the beginning I collected all stuff related to chess, especially stamps, first day covers, postmarks, postcards, phonecards, posters and autographs. In the last years I have specialised in Navigation Autograph Book Old chess postcards (click on card) A - M N - Z Single Chess autographs Links Contact On the next pages you can see a small part of my collection of autographs. The most of them are recognized, if you can recognize one of the unknown, please feel free to e-mail me. Note: The pages are very graphic intensive, so I ask for a little patience while loading. http://www.evrado.com/chess/autogramme/index.shtml[5/26/2010 6:13:18 PM] Autograph Book Autograph Book pages » back to previous page Page 1 - Introduction Page 18 - Marshall Page 2 - Aljechin Page 19 - Spielmann Page 3 - Lasker Page 19a - Capablanca Page 4 - Gruenfeld Page 20 - Canal Page 5 - Rubinstein Page 21 - Prokes Page 6 - Monticelli Page 22 - Euwe Page 7 - Mattisons Page 23 - Vidmar Page 8 - Asztalos Page 24 - Budapest 1948 Page 9 - Kmoch Page 25 - HUN - NED 1949 Page 10 - Gilg Page 25a - HUN - YUG 1949 Page 11 - Tartakover Page 26 - Budapest 1959 Page 12 - Nimzowitsch Page 26a - Budapest 1959 Page 13 - Colle Page 27 - Olympiad Leipzig Page 14 - Brinckmann Page 28 - Olympiad Leipzig Page 15 - Yates Page 29 - Budapest 1961 Page 16 - Kagan Page 30 - Spart.-Solingen 76 Page 17 - Maroczy http://www.evrado.com/chess/autogramme/autographindex.htm[5/26/2010 6:13:20 PM] Autogramme - Turniere - Namen Tournaments: » back to previous page 1 Sliac 1932 8 Dubrovnik 1950 15 Nizza 1974 2 Podebrady 1936 9 Belgrad 1954 16 Biel 1977 3 Semmering - Baden 1937 10 Zinnowitz 1967 17 Moskau 1994 4 Chotzen 1942 11 Polanica Zdroj 1967 18 Single autographs 5 Prag 1942 - Duras Memorial 12 Lugano 1968 19 World Champions Corr.
