| BIRD, H. E. [HENRY EDWARD BIRD] CHESS NOVELTIES and Their Latest Developments London, Frederick Warne and Co. 1895, 1st edition, hb. Bound in original decorated wine coloured cloth.

Â ¶ The subtitle continues: "With Comparisons of the Progress of Chess Openings of the past century and the present not dealt with in Existing Works". A quite scarce title, now seldom seen outside of institutions. Bird (1830-1908) was an English chess expert and accountant. At age 21, he was invited to the first international chess tournament in London. Although not a professional chess player, he played against the famous Morphy (and lost). It was Bird who popularized the chess opening now called "Bird's Opening", as well as "Bird's Defense" (which is regarded as "slightly inferior but 'trappy'"). He was a prolific author of chess (and accounting) books and articles. Front hinge a bit weak but binding tight. The boards show some wear and soiling, but it is not untoward. The contents are clean, if a bit age-toned. Interesting and provocative inscription on half-title page: "Seymour Porter from Mrs. Caroline Redout (?) Christmas 1904". Overall, the book is in good, to good plus, condition. USD 150.00 [Appr.: EURO 100.25 | £UK 90.25 | JP¥ 13239] Book number: 034583 Click here to order or inquire at Greenfield Books. | ||
