1. ^ Jump up To:A B Gaige, Jeremy (1987), Chess Personalia, a 2. Jump Up^ Brace, Edward R. (1977), an Illustrated Dictionary Of Preston Ware Preston Ware Jr. (August 12, 1821 – January 29, 1890) was a US chess player.[1] He is best known today for playing unorthodox chess openings. Ware was born in Wrentham, Massachusetts, and died in Boston, Massachusetts.[1] Boston Mandarins Ware was an influential member of the "Mandarins of the Yellow Button" in Boston. The "Yellow Button" was a pin worn in the hats of Chinese imperial officials to indicate high rank in the civil service. The Boston Mandarins were a group of chess players in the late 19th century, including John Finan Barry, L. Dore, C. F. Burille, F. H. Harlow, Dr. Edward Mowry Harris, C. F. Howard, Major Otho Ernst Michaelis, General William Cushing Paine, Dr. H. Richardson, C. W. Snow, Henry Nathan Stone, Franklin Knowles Young, and Preston Ware. The group was the foundation of what would become the modern Deschapelles Chess Club in Boston.[2] Ware was an avid tournament player and played in the Second International Chess Tournament,[3] Vienna 1882, the finest chess tournament of its time. He finished in sixteenth place of eighteen scoring a total of 11 points out of 34, but he did beat Max Weiss and the winner of the tournament, Wilhelm Steinitz[4] in a game lasting 113 moves.[5] At the time, Steinitz had not lost or drawn a game for nine years prior to this tournament[3] and was the unofficial World Champion. Ware also competed in the first, second, fourth and fifth American Chess Congresses. Legacy[ Ware's other claim to fame was his eccentric opening play. He used the Ware Opening (then known as the Meadow Hay Opening), the Corn Stalk Defence (sometimes known as the Ware Defence), and the Stonewall Attack. Around 1888 he reintroduced the Stone-Ware Defence to the Evans Gambit, named also for Henry Nathan Stone (1823–1909). (It had originally been played by McDonnell against La Bourdonais in 1843.)[6] References 1. ^ Jump up to:a b Gaige, Jeremy (1987), Chess Personalia, A Biobibliography, McFarland, p. 456, ISBN 0-7864-2353-6 2.

He was the President of the Boston Chess Club from 1868 to 1873. He was elected President of the American Chess Foundation in 1872. His few tournament appearances were not successful, due in part to an eccentric opening repertoire; for example, at New York 1880 he played 1...a5 in all nine games with Black and 1.a4 in two of his games with White. The highlight of his career was the victory against Wilhelm Steinitz in his lone international tournament at Vienna (1882). The Stone-Ware Defense to the Evans Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.b4 Bxb4 5.c3 Bd6!? - http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches... has details) was named for Preston Ware and Henry Nathan Stone, also of Boston. Despite its eccentric appearance, it is still played today, with excellent results for Black. Посуда Престон-младший был ведущим игроком Бостона конца XIX века. Он был президентом Бостонского Шахматный клуб с 1868 по 1873. Он был избран президентом американского Фонда шахмат в 1872 году. Его несколько матчей турнира не увенчались успехом, отчасти из-за эксцентричного дебюта; например, в Нью-Йорке 1880 году он сыграл 1...А5 во всех девяти матчах с черно-1.А4 в двух своих играх с белым. Основным моментом его карьеры стала победа против Вильгельма Стейница в его одиноком международном турнире в Вене (1882).

  • 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.

  • A LETTER to BERT (A Medley About Chess Libraries, Dealers and Collectors)
    A LETTER TO BERT (A medley about chess libraries, dealers and collectors) Bob Meadley 2001 1 THERE IS NO COPYRIGHT-ANYONE IS WELCOME TO USE THE CONTENTS FOREWORD This letter to Bert Corneth was expanded to include the dealers and collectors I have met over the years and a chapter on how I acquired the Christmas Series and finally three pages on how chess gradually ensnared me throughout my life. I apologise for the disjointed approach taken and don’t wish to rewrite it. As I am unable to use OCR scanning because of the poor quality of the manual typewriter the fact that I have to retype this ensures I won’t rewrite it. Most of the facts are there and all those interested in chess libraries & c can add more and correct mistakes. I’m told a floppy disc holds 250 A4 size pages of text so I have hardly half filled this disc. One of my real future delights would be to receive a disc in return with additions and corrections to my material. As for the disc it seemed to me that sharing information as cheaply as possible was simply done by sending a disc in the mail. Those of you who wish a hard copy should be able to get the disc printed out at a secretarial service. The last 3 months have been quite enjoyable (including the 1996 period) and the hardest part was the chapter on the Christmas Series as it had to be dug out of files. What makes a collector? Well, in my case, in rural NSW, I needed a library to keep me sane.

  • Kdo Byl Max Weiss? GM Julio Beccera (14
    Kdo byl Max Weiss? GM Julio Beccera (14. 4. 2010) (http://www.chess.com/article/view/who-was-max-weiss) Max Weiss dosáhl obrovského úsp ěchu jako spoluvít ěz (spole čně s Čigorinemú nejdelšího (over- the-board) turnaje v šachové historii, skute čný maratón dvaceti hrá čů dvoukolov ě, trvajíc 64 dn ů! Turnaj byl uspo řádán, aby našel vyzyvatele pro šachové mistrovství sv ěta, ale ani Čigorin (který již ztratil mistrovský zápas), ani Weiss neusilovali o mistrovský zápas se Steinitzem. Max Weiss (21. července 1857 – 14. b řezna 1927) ma ďarský šachista m ěl krátkou, ale zá řnou šachovou kariéru! P řest ěhoval se do Vídn ě, studoval matematiku a fyziku na univerzit ě a potom tyto p ředm ěty vyu čoval. Weiss se nau čil hrát šachy ve dvanácti letech a jeho zájem vzr ůstal tak jak se stával starším a zú častnil se na mnoha mezinárodních sout ěžích. Ve Vídni 1882 vyhrál dv ě partie se Zukertortem a remizoval se Steinitzem; v Hamburgu 1885 d ělil s Englischem a Tarraschem druhou cenu; ve Frankfurtu nad Mohanem 1885 skon čil druhý až t řetí s Blackburenm. Bradford 1888 d ělil s Blackburnem šesté místo. New York 1889 d ělil s Čigorinem první cenu, Vratislav 1889 t řetí cena a Víde ň 1890 první. V roce 1895 porazil Georga Marca v zápase +5 -1 =1 a d ělil první místo na zimním turnaji ve Vídni 1895-6 s Karlem Schlechterem. Práv ě v té dob ě za čal Weiss pracovat na vzniku víde ňské školy šachist ů. Weiss opustil mezinárodní šach a v roce 1905 pracoval v Rotchildov ě bance ve Vídni.
