Volume 71 (Bibliotheca Van der Linde-Niemeijeriana: 6047) 1st edition.Deutsche Schachzeitung was the first German chess magazine. Founded in 1846 by Ludwig Bledow under the title Schachzeitung der Berliner Schachgesellschaft, it took the name Deutsche Schachzeitung in 1872. (Another magazine used the title Deutsche Schachzeitung from 1846 to 1848.) When it ceased publication in December 1988 it was the oldest existing magazine in the world, having been published regularly since its founding in 1846 except for a five-year break (1945–1949) during World War II. Since January 1989, the Deutsche Schachzeitung was merged in the Deutsche-Schachblätter - Schach-Report which was edited in Hollfeld. The resulting magazine appeared with the names of both former magazines on its cover till December 1996. Since January 1997, this magazine again…

Bibliotheca Van der Linde-Niemeijeriana:5424. 1st edition.A compact single-round tournament of only twelve players (only one of whom would not be designated as an international grandmaster in present-day terminology), this even in August 1928 was Capablanca's first appearance after the loss of his title. He had clearly not overcome the shock of this defeat: not only was he once again headed by Bogoljubow, who thus confirmed his status as the most highly qualified challenger for Alekhine's title, but many of his games (e.g. against Spielmann, Nimzowitsch, Tartakower) did not suggest the "chess machine" of his heyday. The tournament did not only bring to light a future challenger, but also a future champion: Euwe's joint third place was his first success in a major tournament. Leading scores: Bogoljubow 8, Capablanca 7, Euwe and Rubinstein 6 1/2.…

From the library of Dino Ruggieri. Volume XIII (13). (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.Dino Ruggieri was born in, a small city in the Buenos Aires province, October 22, 1921.

279 pages with diagrams, photograph and tables. Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6 3/4") Bound in quarter leather with gilt lettering to spine with origibnal wrappers bound-in. (Bibliotheca Van der Linde-Niemeijeriana: 5791) First edition.In the winter of 1950 Lodewijk Prins, backed by a committee presided over by Hendrik Jan Van Steenis, organized an international chess tournament that was held at the stock exchange in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Invitations went out to all the strongest chess masters of the day, whether they reside in Europe, the Soviet Union, or the Americas.
The Soviet Chess Federation declined the invitations sent to their masters (they would refrain from entering international competitions until late 1952), as did Lazslo Szabo. Nevertheless, the eventual line-up was still one of the finest selections to be found of the best, active Western chess masters of the day.
