| suenteus po 147: So, my chess historian friends, I have decided to write a novel, historical fiction, on Vienna, 1873. The plan is to draw a line between Romanticism and "Modernism" in the guise of several characters: Anderssen and Steinitz, Liszt, Manet, etc. I'm curious, are there any biographies out there on Anderssen or Steinitz? If so, are they any good? I think there's a tournament book on Vienna, 1873, but who wrote it, and what's the history like, aside from the analysis? I'm sure I can find this out on my own, but your comments, questions, and suggestions can't be found on the internet :) |

| sneaky pete: <sp 147> The tournament book (in German, of course) was written by Lehner and Schwede and published by Von Veit in 1874. My 197? BCM reprint only has the second part, with games and analyses. "The first part of the book has not been reproduced as it would have added considerably to the costs of production." So I can't help you on this point, but someone else here may have the original 1874 edition and *may* be willing and able to translate those (estimated) between 100 and 200 pages of background, anecdotes, portraits of the masters, menucards etc for you. In the novel, you shouldn't omit a vivid account of one of the side events, the tapdancing contest, also won by Steinitz after a dance-off with Blackburne. |

| suenteus po 147: <sneaky pete> A tapdancing contest! That's fantastic! See? This is precisely why I asked this question here! Thank you so much! I also appreciate the info on the tournament book and the resulting difficulties that may follow. I took a course in German reading translation and actually did pretty well. Well enough for it to count towards one of my foreign language requirements for my PhD. That's the beauty, sometimes, of being a creative writer: my research doesns't always have to be as 100% exact as literature scholar's :) Of course someone better versed in German (like, you know, they speak and read it <naturally>) would be more ideal to translate it, but that's too much work, I think, to ask anyone. However, once I get ahold of the tournament book, you might find me asking questions from time to time on here. |
|

 |
| Phony Benoni: <suenteus po 147> Edition Olms reprinted the entire tournament book in 1986, but you might have better luck finding a copy of the original. |
|
Nov-01-09
|
| Phony Benoni: <suenteus po 147> And now I can give you something in return for all those Hastings collections: http://books.google.com/books?id=TL... I can't get you straight to the title page--but this is the tournament book for Vienna 1873. |
|
Nov-01-09
|
| suenteus po 147: <Phony Benoni> This is an amazing resource! A cursory glance reveals to me I have a lot of brushing up to do on my German, but to have the whole thing available online is incredibly convenient, moreso for my writing than a hardcopy. My current goal is to collect a Hastings tournament every day until the 7th, and then start up again on the 16th until a bunch of games I uploaded to the database are made available to finish out other collections currently "in progress." So you'll get to expand the index plenty in the next week or so :) |
|
Nov-01-09
|
| Phony Benoni: <suenteus po 147> Now that I think about it, I should have reminded you about Calli's collection Game Collection: Chess Tournaments at Google Books Now, what's the German word for tap dancing? |
