About This Item
iv+380 pages with illustrations, diagrams, tables, and index. Royal octavo (9 1/4" x 6") bound in black marbled boards. Volume XIV. Lacks the January issue. (Betts: 7-25). First edition.
The Chess Monthly of Great Britain was one of the first to give properly annotated games. The principal editor, Leopold Hoffer, was helped enormously by having Johannes Hermann Zukertort as co-editor until his death in 1888. There were four regular sections: news, annotated games, problems and endgames. In addition, Hoffer carried on a profoundly bitter feud with his one-time benefactor, Wilhelm Steinitz. This publication should not be confused with The Chess Monthly published in the United States which was short lived from 1857-1862 and edited by Fiske and Morphy.
Condition:
Corners bumped, edge wear, lacks January issue, pages 129-160, internal soiling with some pages creased over all a good copy of a scarce item.
