- bibliography
Antonin Klir, 1864-1939, was mainly a chess composer, therefore there are only 4 preserved games.
Leo Taussig, 1864-1944, was one of the best Czech chess players after 1900. His greatest success was the second place at the First Congress of the UJCS (Czech Chess Union) in Prague in 1905 behind Oldrich Duras.
Between 1988 and 2018, the Rokycany Museum published 30 books on various topics. Only three of them contain articles on chess. All three are offered in our current auction.
