American Chess Bulletin 1916 13

The Americas were clearly under the spell of Capablanca, and his massive victory at New York - a full 3,5 points clear - was at the time when the legendary Cuban was virtually unbeatable. Also featured are Marshallos record - breaking 105 - player simul and a continuing series of Sherlock Holmes chess mysteries, 260pp.

The American Chess Bulletin of beloved memory was a New York publication which grew out of Marshall's success at Cambridge Springs 1904. Edited and published by Hartwig Cassel and Herman Helms, it was a definitive journal of record for USA and European events. Now - providing a great historical service to chess fans everywhere - Publishing House Moravian Chess have reissued this great series in stoutly bound hardback volumes, bringing back to life the essence of the turn-of-the-century chess scene. Each issue is packed to the brim with top-quality games, analysis and tournament reports, as well as fascinating background material and witty anecdotes which really captured the spirit of the times. A collector's dream!
