  • Play Chess with Paul Morphy
    The Historic New Orleans Collection presents Play Chess with Paul Morphy Lesson 1, History Daguerreotype of Paul Morphy framed in an embossed case, between 1857 and 1859 (THNOC, acquisition made possible by the Boyd Cruise Fund, 1996.75) In the winter of 1857, 20- year-old Paul Morphy had just returned home to New Orleans after defeating the best chess players in the country at the first American Chess Congress, held in New York City. Announcement in the New-York Tribune, November 7, 1857 Members of the first American Chess Congress, 1857 (courtesy of Cornell University Library) Because of Morphy’s accomplishment, a chess craze swept New Orleans. Soon after Morphy’s victory, the New Orleans Chess Club elected him as president. The meetings were held at the Mercantile Library Association, located on Exchange Alley. At these events, Morphy entertained crowds with extraordinary feats on the chessboard. New Orleans Chess Club announcement in the Times-Picayune, January 13, 1858 Lithograph illustration of Exchange Alley, ca. 1870, by Marie Adrien Persac. (THNOC, The L. Kemper and Leila Moore Williams Founders Collection, 1950.39) Modern chess developed in the Mediterranean during the 15th century, as part of the Italian Renaissance. Around this same time, Europeans began to voyage to Africa and the Americas. Spanish, Portuguese, French, and English ships spread the game of chess—along with plants, technology, and disease—throughout the New World. Taking Possession Of Louisiana And The River Sauvage matachez en guerrier, 1735, by Alexandre Mississipi . ., ca. 1860, by Jean-Adolphe Bocquin De Batz (courtesy of Peabody Museum of Archaeology (THNOC, 1970.1) and Ethnology, Harvard University) In New Orleans, the game grew in popularity as francophone émigrés poured into the city following the French and Haitian Revolutions at the turn of the 19th century.

  • Chess Sets from 1700 to the Introduction of the Staunton Design (1849)
    Page 1 of 7 The Conventional Chess Sets from 1700 to the introduction of the Staunton Design (1849) Chesmayne Chess History Time Lines: 1500's . 1600's . 1700's . 1800's . 1900's Today, the Staunton design, named after a Chess Master in England, but actually developed by and produced by John Jaques of London in 1849, is now the standard design for chess pieces. Prior to that, a number of Conventional styles of turned chess sets preceded the introduction of the Staunton Design in 1849. These pieces were designed for play using simplified or abstract shapes and made of more inexpensive materials than more ornate displays sets. Some of these various styles were named after either the Coffee House/ Chess Clubs in London and Paris, and other European cities where they were used; or the skilled turners who created them. Along with these Conventional Playing Sets, there were also a variety of Representational Sets - the latter tended to be more for display than play. The original chess sets from the East were highly abstracted pieces. Early Western sets were carved figures such as the Lewis Chess men or those of Charlemagne's time. In the Middle Ages, Chess was a game mainly for the Nobility and Clergy. They could afford expensive ornate sets. During the Renaissance, it was still mainly a game for the households of kings such as Philip II of Spain or Henry the 8th; and the Queens, such as Catherine De Medici, or Elizabeth I. A revolution in Chess play in the West was the development of the powerful Chess Queen.

  • Sticky Cultures: Memory Publics and Communal Pasts in Competitive
    CUS7410.1177/1749975512473460Cultural SociologyFine 4734602013 Article Cultural Sociology 7(4) 395 –414 Sticky Cultures: Memory © The Author(s) 2013 Reprints and permissions: Publics and Communal Pasts in sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1177/1749975512473460 Competitive Chess cus.sagepub.com Gary Alan Fine Northwestern University, USA Abstract Although examinations of social memory have largely focused on societies and large populations, much remembrance occurs within bounded publics. This memory, especially when it is held in common, ties individuals to their chosen groups, establishing an ongoing reality of affiliation. I term this form of memory work as sticky culture, recognizing the centrality of the linkage of selves and groups. To examine how sticky culture operates, I examine the social world of competitive chess with its deep history and rich literature. More specifically, I examine forms through which chess publics are cemented through remembrances of the past, focusing on the hero, the critical moment, and validated styles. Champions, memorable games, and recognized strategies establish a lasting public. Keywords chess, collective memory, communal, community, culture, groups, leisure, memory, tiny publics Chess gives not only contemporary fame, but lasting remembrance. To be a great chess player is to be surer of immortality than a great statesman or popular author . The chess player’s fame once gained is secure and stable. What one of all the countless chivalry of Spain is so familiar a name as Ruy Lopez? What American (except Washington) is so widely known as Paul Morphy? Chess, in fact, has lasted so long that we are sure it will last forever. Institutions decay, empires fall to pieces, but the game goes on.
