Synopsis
When William Steinitz arrived in London in 1862 he was the most daring attacker in the coffee-houses. Within a generation he had overthrown his own style, defeated Anderssen and Zukertort, and become the first official World Champion – the man who discovered that positions, not inspiration, decide games. Every grandmaster since has played chess in the world Steinitz built.
This is the definitive record of that revolution: all 1,157 of his known games, from 1859 to 1899, in the order they were played.
Inside:
• Every traceable game, with crosstables for all his tournaments and matches
• Steinitz's own annotations to his title matches with Zukertort, Chigorin and Gunsberg
• The 1866 Anderssen match with the notes of Staunton, Boden and Löwenthal, and the 1894 Lasker match with comments by Lasker, Pillsbury, Showalter and Steinitz himself
• Bobby Fischer's notes to all nine games of the 1862 match with Dubois
• Scores checked against the original newspapers and magazines, including games found in no other collection
• 407 diagrams, a biography, a guide to his famous games, and indexes of opponents and openings
Edited by FM Carl Boor, three-time Ohio State Champion and translator of the first English edition of Roberto Grau's A General Treatise on Chess.
