Inserted into the third issue is a prospectus in English. Three of the four issues published of the first Icelandic chess periodical. "The title of the publication is an Icelandic phrase, used as far back as the 13th century (in the 'Sturlunga Saga') as a technical chess expression. It is equivalent to the French 'en prise' - which the modern chess-playing nations have been content to borrow, having no vernacular method of representing, with sufficient conciseness and exactness, the idea of a piece or pawn exposed to capture." (from the publisher's prospectus). The magazine contains mostly chess problems. In the third issue, portraits and biographical sketches of two principal living Icelandic chess-players are included: Ţorvaldur Jónsson and Magnús Magnússon Smith. The periodical was published by Willard Fiske (1831-1904), an American librarian, scholar, bibliophile, and chess player. His library is preserved at Cornell University. Rare.
