Jun-17-12		brankat: I wonder whether his 2 books would still available somewhere. E-bay, perhaps?

Jun-17-12		wordfunph: <brankie> try this from amazon.. + Crumbs From The Chess-Board http://www.amazon.com/Crumbs-From-C... + The Fifth American Chess Congress New York 1880 http://www.amazon.com/Fifth-America...

Jun-17-12		brankat: <wordfunph> Thank You for the info. So far I've never dealt with the Amazon, actually I've never done any kind of shopping anywhere on the Net. I guess, I'll first need to learn the basic ropes. I assume it should be possible to set up an account with the Amazon site.

Jun-17-12		Calli: No need to buy these books. There are available for free on Google Books. For instance http://books.google.com/books?id=gv...

Mar-24-13		Tabanus: http://www.chessarch.com/excavation... has a lightning game by him, perhaps the first such on record. It was played vs John G. Belden (editor of the chess column in Hartford Weekly Times) on Sept. 9, 1873. See also Winter's Chess Notes 4886.
