Royal octavo (9 3/4" x 6 1/2") bound in original publisher's blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine and cover. (Bibliotheca Van der Linde-Niemeijeriana: 5615; Betts: 25-148) First edition. Contains a selection of games from the championship with annotations from various sources and a review of the tournament by Fred Reinfeld. A selection of 10 games from the U S Open in Dallas1940 with annotations from various sources and a commentary by George Sturgis. A chess bibliography from 1940 by Albrecht Buscheke and other articles. When we look back at the 1940 Championship, the key final round matchup between Fine and Reshevsky is certainly the most studied and heavily analyzed. Reinfeld treats it in the May 1940 issue of Chess Review, and Santasiere annotated it for the American Chess Bulletin. Analysts generally agree that Fine missed his chance to win on his 27th move, and the drawn game gave the title to Reshevsky. Third place went to Issac Kashdan. Kashdan first came to prominence in 1928 when he won the individual gold medal as first board for the United States in the Chess Olympiad, and he successfully competed in many international tournaments in the 1930s. After his tournament days were over, Kashdan served Caïssa through his writing and organizing. Kashdan founded the Chess Review with I.A. Horowitz in 1933. He penned the chess column for the Los Angeles Times from 1955-1982, and he was instrumental in organizing the Piatigorsky Cups and the Lone Pine tournaments.
