Aggiungi al carrelloNo Binding. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. 1 page original letter (10 1/2" x 8 1/2") hand written in pencil signed F G with envelope and problems enclosed. Dated June 14, 1945. Discusses several problems submitted to various publications as well a problem submitted the British Chess Magazine. Newman Guttman was a celebrity…in his field. He had composed and published more than 130 chess problems, mostly "Mate in Two" problems. Several of his compositions had won awards in problem composing tournaments. He was an International F.I.D.E. Judge and a U.S. Delegate to the Committee of Composition for F.I.D.E. He also judged 2-move problem solving in Chess Life and Review contest. Frederick Gamage (1881-1956) was born in Westborough, MA. The active periods in Gamage's career as a problemist have been relatively brief. He composed his first problem in 1901 and withdrew from active chess in 1914. This early period was interrupted months and even years at a time, a feverish outburst of productivity around 1910 resulting in some of his best work, especially in the three-move field. In 1937 he took up composing afresh with new enthusiasm, under the guidance of Alain white and continued until his death. Condition: Creases at folds to be mailed, some light soiling else a very good item. C: File. Inscribed by Author(s).

Aggiungi al carrelloNo Binding. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. Letter (10 3/4" x 8 3/4") to Gilbert Dobbs discussing several problems and thanking him for problems received and potential future problems. Also discusses a book about to be published. Signed by Gamage. Giblert Dobbs (1867-1941) had composed an astonishing number of 2,500 problems…, great numbers of them very charming and attractive pieces. He loved the simpler combinations of pure or model mates in three-move form, and turned out literally hundreds of examples, which one could always counted upon to be well worth the solving. Dobbs went on to become a minister in Georgia. (ACB: 1941) Frederick Gamage (1881-1956) was born in Westborough, MA. The active periods in Gamage's career as a problemist have been relatively brief. He composed his first problem in 1901 and withdrew from active chess in 1914. This early period was interrupted months and even years at a time, a feverish outburst of productivity around 1910 resulting in some of his best work, especially in the three-move field. In 1937 he took up composing afresh with new enthusiasm, under the guidance of Alain white and continued until his death. Condition: Folds where mailed else a very good piece. Signed by Author(s).
