Bishop Endings
by Yury Lvovich Averbakh (1922- )
- Used
- Hardcover
- first
167 pages with diagrams and index. Octavo (8 3/4" x 5 3/4) issued in black with gilt lettering to spine. Translated by Mary Lasher. (Lusis: 1112) First British edition.
Bishop Endings is the fourth volume to appear of Averbakh's great classic series on the endgame. The original Russiqn edition quickly established a world-wide reputation ... these are the endgame books that Fischer had sent to him during his world championship match. The English translation has been updated and is by far the most complete work on bishop endgames ever published. Every one of 370 examples has its own diagrams. In both matches and tournaments, games are often adjourned at the moment that the endings is reached. It is then that any player without the most authoritative work to refer to puts himself at a great disadvantage and is in danger of throwing away both half and whole points. Bishop Endings can help to solve a player's adjournment problems ... 370 diagrams, in conjunction with the detailed contents list, make it easy for the reader to fine any particular type of position.
Condition:
A better than very good copy in a very good to fine jacket.

(Whyld: 1836-13) 1st edition.Alexander McDonnell (1798-1835) was the son of a Belfast doctor and the strongest player from either Britain or Ireland before the rise of Staunton. In contemporary publications his name was sometimes printed as M'Donnell and he is not to be confused with the Dublin-born Rev G.A. MacDonnell (1830-1899) who had some good results in the 1860s and 1870s and lived until 1899. McDonnell is best known for being the loser of the first known Evans Gambit game (to Capt. William Evans himself) and for his marathon series of matches against the French champion Labourdonnais in 1834.

First edition.For the second time Carl Schlechter shared a first prize in a German competition. A strong pre-tournament favorite, the Austrian visitor began well with three out of four points but then allowed to many draws to overcome a sixth-round defeat to Rudolf Swiderski. Among the costly "Remis" were uninspired draws against the 10th-12th place finishers. Leo Fleischmann, Horatio Caro and Walter John, and a last-round draw against his old Graz nemesis, Johann Berger. Another vital half-point went a glimmering in the tenth round when Schlechter, after brilliantly outplaying Os Bernstein, unaccountably overlooked a clear win and allowed the young Russian to escape with a perpetual check. Swiderski (+6 -3 =3), one of two other first-place winners, enjoyed a fine tournament, defeating both Schlechter and Curt von Bardeleben to finish the tourney with the most…
