The GB v USSR (OTB) Chess Match, 1947. Add to Watch List Watching View Watchlist >

"Great Britain v USSR Chess Match, 1947" by G. Levenfish and W. Winter. Published in softback by the Anglo-Soviet Chess Circle in 1949. 54pp. Betts 26-12. The booklet is in Good condition for its age. The covers are reasonably clean (a little rubbing, commensurate with age) although there are a couple of creases to note plus a foxing-like speckling particularly on the rear cover. There is a small area of superficial loss at the foot of the spine (see scans). The page edge blocks are tanned from age and handling. Internally the booklet is clean and unmarked but has a fragile feel as though pages are not securely attached to the spine (a common enough occurence with vintage glue binding). The paper available so relatively soon after WW2 was not the best but the publishers must have searched around as the paper quality in this booklet is remarkably good for that era. The internal pages are all very clean and unmarked and all appear to be inscription and annotation free. Games are given in English descriptive notation. Scarce. Condition Rating: 7/10. Any questions, please just ask.
