The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress 1889. First Edition Sixth American Chess Congress 1889. First edition.
Description:
The circulation is limited to 500 copies. Genuine leather binding with gilded letters on the spine. This is a copy of 267 issued to Khomatov, Tashkent & nbsp; Contains a report of the Congress Committee and all 432 games with Steinitz notes. It was a double round robin tournament of 20 people. One of the longest tournaments in history. In the first half of the tournament, draws counted as half a point. In the second half, they were replayed once. Between 38 regular rounds, 8 rounds of replay and 4 rounds of playoffs for the first at the end there were 50 rounds (!). Like the 4th Congress, this tournament consisted mainly of foreign masters. Captain Mackenzie’s resignation seems to date back to this time (although some sources consider him the US champion until his death in 1891), giving the top American finisher some claims to be the de facto US champion. The best American finisher was Solomon Lipschutz, who took 6th place with a score of + 22-9 = 7. The book is accompanied by an article by the Soviet master Aginsky, the former owner of this book. Tables and charts.
