About This Item
Birmingham: Wesbury, Eric E (1881-1939), 1902 Two page letter to Fritz Englund in Eric Westbury's hand discussing exchange of problem publications. Written on the note paper of the famous St George Chess Club. Fritz Englund (1871-1933) was the problem editor of Tidskrift for Schach. Fritz Englund was a noted problemist and the Englund Gambit was named after in inadvertently. The opening was invented byt Karlis Betins (1867-1943). He published his analysis "Konigsbauer gegen Damenbauer" in Deutsche Schachzeiting 1930. Two years later Englund, the leading chess figure in Sweden, sponsored a thematic tournament, held at Stockholm in late 1932 and 1933. Every game had to begin with Betins' main line. Probably because Betin's article had already been forgotten, or - more probable - because Englund died shortly afterwards, when chess magazines reported his death, they rarely failed to mention "Englund's Gambit Tournament." So the name stuck. Condition: Fold where folded to be mailed else a very good copy an active chess problemist.. Signed. First Edition. Ephemera. Very Good.
