With an additional leaf - the third in the book - which mentions a dedication of the book by the author to Axel Lindstrom, in Landskrona (a city north of Malmö and ...Lund), "the highly deserved chess editor of the newspaper Sydsvenska Dagbladet Snallposten (see photo).
In ChessBase there is an informal game of chess between Dr.Tarrasch and Axel Lindstrom (Nuremberg 1911). According to ΅Chess Personalia-Geige", Axel was born in 1877 (Ystad??) and died in 1952 (Skurup??).
The first issue of Snäll-Posten from Malmö was published on May 8, 1848. Sydsvenska Dagbladet started as a competitor to Snällposten on April 29, 1870. After the merger of Sydsvenska Dagbladet and Snällposten, the first issue of Sydsvenska Dagbladet Snällposten was published on January,2 1872. Today the circulation of the newspaper is on average approx.13,000 per release.
The influence of the great chess master and teacher Dr. Siegbert Tarrasch on all phases of the chess game began a good century ago and continues to the present day. His "Modern Chess Game" was a mirror of chess at that time. There is hardly anyone - whether master, amateur or hobby player - who has not, consciously or unconsciously, adopted his theses as their own.
The "Praeceptor Germaniae's" sound judgments on questions of opening theory are particularly laudable. The Tarrasch Defense of the Queen's Gambit and his "Open Defense" of the Spanish Game were controversial for a long time and avoided by the top players. They have since resurfaced and are enjoying general popularity, even in elite circles. Names such as Tal, Spassky, Korchnoi and Kasparov have used our author's ideas, and even the "Berlin Variation" that helped Kramnik to his victory over Kasparov was inspired by Tarrasch.
Even today, Tarrasch's original intention still sounds refreshing and plausible: "It is absolutely impossible to understand a game without detailed notes when replaying it, let alone to fully absorb and assimilate its content. I have now made each individual game the subject of a deep study, the results of which I present to the readers so that they can effortlessly gain a full understanding of the game. I sit down with the reader at the board and explain the game to him in great detail, but - hopefully! - without tiring him ...The work therefore offers a textbook of modern chess strategy; not in the form of a 'rigid system', however, but in a relaxed form, somewhat in the style of my '300 Chess Games', only it is much more didactic."
There are no questions for this listing.
