The Gambit was a chess periodical published by the Missouri Pacific St. Louis Chess Club 1923-32 and it’s one of those small but valuable windows into American chess culture of the time.
It served as the club’s official publication, mixing practical chess content with local reporting. Typical issues include annotated games (often from club play or American masters), chess problems, opening analysis, and commentary on current events in the chess world.
The publication reflects how important regional clubs were before strong national organizations fully took shape. St. Louis, like Philadelphia and New York, was developing into a serious chess hub, and The Gambit helped connect its members to the wider chess scene by sharing games and ideas.
The Gambit 1930, vol 7. Nos. 1-12. 384 pages. L/N 6415. Betts 7 - 67. De Felice 1005.
