The greatest chess tournament of all time was held in the summer of 1895, at the ancient Saxon stronghold of Hastings. This "Grand International Chess Congress" attracted the strongest field of players ever assembled, with Steinitz, Lasker, Tchigorin, Tarrasch and Blackburne all present. The list of entries amounted to a catalogue of chess luminaries, including Schlechter, Bird, Teichmann, Gunsberg and Janowski. The games were exceedingly difficult and hard fought, possibly the severest test of chess mastery ever conducted. Finally, the young American Pillsbury surpassed his dangerous rivals in a thrilling, last round finish.
But then something even more remarkable happened. The Hastings 1895 tournament kept growing in importance year after year, teaching and delighting generations of chess players. This feat was accomplished by the famous Book of the Tournament, in which the players themselves provided the game commentary - but commentary unlike any ever produced. Working independently, they together achieved a wonderful blend of instruction and entertainment. Witty, insightful and always captivating, these masters left a legacy of chess wisdom for all to profit by. A valuable chess course in itself, the Hastings 1895 tournament book became a cornerstone of chess libraries everywhere.
Here at last is the long awaited modern edition of that classic work. Completely faithful to its celebrated original, this volume features all 230 games, 173 diagrams and a thoroughly updated format. The language has been edited to modernize usage, spelling and punctuation, then carefully combined with algebraic chess notation. The result is a lively and profound game collection as useful today as it was one hundred years ago. "Hastings 1895, The Centennial Edition" brings the authorized account of this super-tournament into the 21st century, allowing players everywhere to experience again one of the great treasures of chess literature.
