Buch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - William Steinitz turned chess from a duel of daring sacrifices into a science. When he arrived in London in 1862 he was the most dashing attacker in the coffee-houses; within a generation he had overthrown his own style, defeated Anderssen and Zukertort, and become the first official World Champion, the man who showed that positions, not inspiration, decide games. Every grandmaster since has played chess in the world Steinitz built.This edition is the definitive record of that revolution: all 1,157 of his known games, from his first games in Vienna in 1859 to his last in 1899, in the order they were played. Inside:- Every traceable game, with crosstables for all 47 of his tournaments and matches- Steinitz's own annotations to his world championship matches with Zukertort, Chigorin and Gunsberg- The 1866 Anderssen match with the notes of Staunton, Boden and Löwenthal- The 1862 Dubois match with Bobby Fischer's notes from Chess Life (1964)- The 1894 Lasker match with comments by Lasker, Pillsbury, Showalter and Steinitz himself- Scores checked against the original newspapers and magazines, including games found in no other collection- 353 diagrams, modern engine verdicts where today's analysis overturns a nineteenth-century one, and a list of Steinitz's most accurate gamesEdited by FIDE Master Carl Boor, three-time Ohio State Champion (2002, 2007, 2011), whose 5.f3 against the Exchange Slav is known as the Boor Attack and is the subject of his book The Boor Attack: Slaying the Most Solid Chess Defense with 5.f3. He is also the translator of the first English edition of Roberto Grau's classic A General Treatise on Chess.…
