About This Item
One page letter (10 3/4" x 8 3/4") to Gilbert Dobbs discussing several problems and thanking him for problems received and potential future problems. Also discusses a book about to be published. Signed by Gamage.
Giblert Dobbs (1867-1941) had composed an astonishing number of 2,500 problems, great numbers of them very charming and attractive pieces. He loved the simpler combinations of pure or model mates in three-move form, and turned out literally hundreds of examples, which one could always counted upon to be well worth the solving. Dobbs went on to become a minister in Georgia. (ACB: 1941)
Frederick Gamage (1881-1956) was born in Westborough, MA. The active periods in Gamage's career as a problemist have been relatively brief. He composed his first problem in 1901 and withdrew from active chess in 1914. This early period was interrupted months and even years at a time, a feverish outburst of productivity around 1910 resulting in some of his best work, especially in the three-move field. In 1937 he took up composing afresh with new enthusiasm, under the guidance of Alain white and continued until his death.
