Gossip co-wrote the books The Chess Player's Mentor (1895) and The Complete Chess-Guide (1903).[12] The latter was in effect a much-expanded version of the former, containing "Chess Player's Mentor" (Part I), "Modern Chess Brilliancies" (Part II), "Guide to the Openings" (Part III), and "Games at Odds" (Part IV).[13] Chess strength By Arpad Elo's calculation, Lee's strength during his five-year peak was equivalent to an Elo rating of 2450.[14] Another assessment system, Chessmetrics, calculates that at his peak in February 1898 Lee's play was equivalent to a rating of 2598, and he was the number 25 player in the world. According to Chessmetrics, his highest world rank was number 24 in the world in July 1897.[15][16] Notable games Here, future chess superstar Harry Nelson Pillsbury, not yet 21, blunders a pawn in the opening and is outplayed by Lee.[17]Pillsbury-Lee, New York 1893 1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.Nc3 Qd8 4.d4 c6 5.Nf3 Bg4 6.Be2 Bxf3 7.Bxf3 e6 8.O-O Nf6 9.Re1 Be7 10.Ne4 Nbd7 11.c3 O-O 12.g3 Nxe4 13.Bxe4 Nf6 14.Bg2 Bd6 15.Bd2 Qa5 16.Qb3 Qc7 17.c4 Rad8 18.c5?

  • Wilhelm Steinitz – Wikipedie
    22.7.13 Wilhelm Steinitz – Wikipedie Wilhelm Steinitz Z Wikipedie, otevřené encyklopedie Tento článek používá k popisu tahů šachovou notaci. Wilhelm Steinitz (17. května 1836, Praha – 12. srpna 1900, Wilhelm Steinitz New York City) byl rakouský a později americký šachista, první mistr světa v šachu v letech 1886– 1894. Obsah 1 Steinitzův život v letech 1836–1886 2 Steinitz – první mistr světa v šachu 3 Další Steinitzovy vítězné zápasy o titul mistra světa 4 Ztráta titulu a závěr Steinitzova života 5 Steinitzův přínos světovému šachu 6 Poznámky 7 Vybrané partie Narození 17. května 1836 8 Reference Praha, Rakouské císařství 9 Literatura Úmrtí 12. srpna 1900 10 Externí odkazy New York City, Spojené státy americké Steinitzův život v letech 1836–1886 Wilhelm Steinitz se narodil 14. května 1836 v Praze v rodině nezámožného židovského obchodníka. Šachy se učil hrát od roku 1848[1] se svým přítelem ze školy, ale nebral je nijak vážně, dokud se v roce 1858 nepřestěhoval do Vídně, kde studoval matematiku a pokušel se stát se novinářem[1]. Poté co z finančních a také ze zdravotních důvodů neuspěl, začal hrát šachy ve vídeňské kavárně Romer. V roce 1859 skončil na přeboru Vídně (Wiener Schachgesellschaft) na třetím místě1, v roce 1860 byl druhý1 a v roce 1861 jej vyhrál impozantním výsledkem třiceti bodů z 31 partií a získal přezdívku rakouský Morphy[1]. Po neúspěchu na šachovém turnaji v Londýně roku 1862, kde skončil až na šestém místě (turnaj vyhrál Adolf Anderssen), se Steinitz rozhodl zůstat v britské metropoli, tehdejším „středu“ šachového světa. Brzy pak bylo všem zřejmé, že Anderssenovi, „úřadujícímu“ prvnímu hráči světa, roste ve Steinitzovi velmi vážný soupeř.

  • Mirotvor Schwartz CHESS HISTORY on STAMPS (PRE-1890)
    Mirotvor Schwartz CHESS HISTORY ON STAMPS (PRE-1890) This is a part of my “CHESS HISTORY ON STAMPS” thematic exhibit. It covers events that took place before the 1890s (from the beginning of time to 1889). 1497 Luis Ramirez de Lucena (Spain) published in Salamanca the oldest known chess book, Repetición de Amores y Arte de Ajedrez con 101 Juegos de Partido (Repetition of Love and the Art of Playing Chess). 1749 Francois Andre Danican Philidor (France) published the first edition of his famous book Analyse du jeu des Échecs (The Analysis of the Game of Chess). 1 1755 In 1755, Francois-Andre Danican Philidor (France) won a match against Francois Antoine de Legall de Kermeur (France) and became the unofficial world champion. Philidor’s reign lasted until his death in 1795. Simultaneous Blindfold Exhibition 1783 (London) Count John M Bruehl (England) - Francois Andre Danican Philidor (France) 0:1 Philidor’s opponents - Philidor ½ : 2½. (Philidor played three opponents simultaneously without looking at the board. His opponents all played with White pieces, and one of them also had a one-pawn advantage (Philidor had removed his “f” pawn before the game even started). It was a remarkable achievement by 18th-century standards) 2 1795-1802 Some chess historians (including the person who designed this stamp) consider Domenico Ercole del Rio (Modena) the unofficial world champion in 1795-1802. 1821-40 In 1821, Louis-Charles Mahe de La Bourdonnais (France) defeated his teacher Alexandre Deschapelles (France) and became the unofficial world champion. La Bourdonnais’ reign lasted until his death in 1840. Correspondence Team Match 1842-45 Pest - Paris 2:0 3 1843 After winning a match against Saint-Amant (France), Howard Staunton (England) became the unofficial world champion.

Copié La presentación en sociedad del quien luego fuera considerado el padre del Estudio moderno en ajedrez proviene, ya hace 120 años, de la mítica publicación francesa La Stratégie. Mikhail Chigorin (1850-1908) también considerado como el padre de la escuela rusa de ajedrez, el que a la sazón escribía notas sobre ajedrez para ese medio especializado, sin duda debe haber intercedido por medio del director de La Stratégie, Numa Preti, recomendando al joven, poco conocido en ese entonces, Alexey Troitzky, pero que era participe de los círculos ajedrecísticos de San Petersburgo; siendo estudiante en dicha ciudad se vinculó con Chigorin y eso sin duda fue fundamental para su progreso en el ajedrez y en la composición en particular.
