Libro Prima edizione
Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. 95 pages with diagrams, photographs and tables. Small octavo (7 3/4" x 4 1/4") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. (Bibliotheca van der Linde-Niemeijeriana:5669) first edition. In the wake of the World War, the chess club at Hastings reorganized their year-end congress to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Hastings (1895). The master section was also intended as a warm-up for London A (1946) and London B (1946). The Russians had been invited, but did not turn up. The World Champion Alexander Alekhine was not invited (due to alleged Nazi sympathies), while the Czechoslovak champion Karel Opocensky arrived two days late. There was no play scheduled on Sundays, and no double rounds. Euwe-Sergeant was played on Sunday, January 6, as Euwe during rounds 6 and 7 went to see his sister who was coming home after four years as a prisoner in a Japanese internment camp in Java. Controller of play was Arthur John Mackenzie. The unknown Swede Ekström made an outstanding run with 9/11, but the loss to Tartakower in round 5 was decisive. Some reporters thought that Tartakower now had captured the world crown, but this picture soon changed. Condition: Corners bumped and rubbed, spine ends rubbed else a very good.
