Description

The 'Chess Calendar 1914' by Hannakforth is a unique compilation for chess enthusiasts. Published in the year leading up to World War I, this book serves as both a practical guide and historical snapshot of the chess world of the early 20th century. Its primary focus is on the games, strategies, and key players of the era, providing insights into the tactical evolutions and stylistic changes that defined the period. Readers will find a mix of game analysis, commentary, and possibly illustrative chess problems that were popular at that time. The book is a noteworthy collector's item for its historical value alone, being an artifact from a time when chess was evolving both in Europe and globally. The red cover, adorned with a checkered emblem and a crown, hints at a prestigious and regal understanding of the game. Despite limited information on its publisher or the depth of content inside, 'Chess Calendar 1914' remains a piece of chess history. ------------ This item originates from the chess book collection of Zahari Stanchev, (April 27, 1920 - January 27, 1980) from Sofia, Bulgaria. Stanchev was Bulgaria's representative to FIDE in the 1960s, a writer of chess books, and an international arbiter.
