Manchester 1890 - International Chess Tournament
Gillam Anthony J.
Descrizione
Siegbert Tarrasch won the tournament at Manchester in 1890 without losing a game. More importantly, it was his second consecutive tournament victory, without losing a game. If it wasn`t already clear to the chess world that a new force had arrived, there was no doubt after Manchester.
This book contains all the games from the tournament that it has been possible to find, nearly all with annotations.
If you are more interested in the disputes, personal rivalries, which player had to have his chair at exactly the right height, who might have been taking drugs, which player had a drink problem, the hats they wore, who sued Gunsberg and why, then it`s all here in the many newspaper reports that are quoted.
