Chess congress 1862 / The chess congress of 1862
Description:
Joseph Henry Blackburne met and defeated the top players in chess history, including Anderssen, Steinitz, and Tschigorin. Known as the "Black Death", Blackburne's game was wide open and highly tactical. This aggressive attacking style ranked him among the world's elite during his career. Throughout this period Blackburne remained a tough and dangerous opponent, and yet - more so than most players - he knew how to have fun at chess. Heam to tell stories, and would be happily banter with the crowds who flocked to his displays of simultaneous or blindfold prowess. That spirit of good-natured humor is evident all through the book before us.
