Editorial Review:
With Annotations Gathered from the Old Masters Revised and Expanded by F.I.D.E. Master Ron Burnett

No one has ever played chess like Adolph Anderssen played it, nor won as much fame and glory for his charismatic style. Anderssen's hallmark is the direct (and often spectacular!) Kingside attack, executed always with aggressive optimism, resource- fulness and daring. In Anderssen, moreover, this relentless drive to checkmate is backed up by explosive tactical brilliance, leaving in its wake combinations that have filled anthologies for generations.

This volume features 897 games - with only 94 draws! - richly annotated by the old Masters, and thoroughly updated for the 21st entury. Also included are 80 chess problems composed by Anderssen, and a memorial essay here translated into English for the first time. Complete opening and player indexes plus 367 diagrams round out this massive chess biography of Adolph Anderssen, arguably the greatest of the great Masters.

Chess History
by Richard Eales

Editorial Review:
Not since Murray in 1913 has there been a seriously researched history of chess which is also readable. Eales concentrates on what can be identified through archaeological and written evidence. The key text for lovers of chess history.

by Wilhelm Steinitz, Kurt Landsberger (Editor)
Publication date: August 2002

Editorial Review:
Long known as one of the greatest chess masters of the nineteenth century, William Steinitz is recognized as the first world champion. More exactly he has been officially acknowledged as the first American world chess champion.

Luckily for chess scholars, many letters and postcards survive written by Steinitz and his associates, friends and foes. After years of research, numerous personal contacts with people on three continents, and unflagging efforts to acquire any and all known letters to and from Steinitz, the author here presents in their own words a remarkable account of Steinitz and his contemporaries in the chess world of over a century ago. Notable personalities that write or are written about include Lasker, Pillsbury, Zukertort, Bird, Blackburne, Janowski, Tschigorin and Winawer.

Each original letter, postcard, scrapbook item, newspaper or chess magazine article or other writing are described along with details of location, ownership, and circumstances of discovery. It is then printed, nearly always in full, in English (many translated from their original German by Landsberger). The author provides a running commentary on the letters and documents, which are generally chronological in arrangement, putting them in context and remarking the significance of certain points made in them. A biographical dictionary at the back of the book offers information about all the many figures who received, sent, or were mentioned in the documents or letters. Some of the games accompanying some of the letters are annotated by modern grandmaster Andy Soltis.
