  keypusher: Sad news. His republications of the Nuremburg 1896, Carlsbad 1907, and St. Petersburg 1914 tournament books are among my most treasured chess books.
Sep-10-19  JimNorCal: Mr Brandreth could boast many chessic achievements. His Caissa Editions tournament books are wonderful! Also, isn't he a coauthor of The Unknown Capablanca?

  perfidious: <JimNorCal>, actually I have never owned a copy of that work, but believe he was the sole author credited.

  jnpope: Does anyone know if Dale ever came out with his book on George H. Mackenzie? I sent him copies of my Mackenzie research years ago but I wasn't too attentive in keeping up with his publication schedule.

Dale was very generous in his gratitude and he sent me a bunch of his publications as a thank you, but I was really looking forward to seeing his Mackenzie book.

  MissScarlett: Anyone heard what’s happening with his chess library and collections?
May-10-20  JimNorCal: Haven't heard about his library or collections, but then--who would inform me LOL?

re: jnpope's inquiry above, some friends and I converted a bunch of DN games from a tournament to PGN notation. It's so long ago that I no longer even recall which tournament. Dale said we'd be credited as volunteer helpers when the book was published but it never was. I'm still pleased to have donated the time in a good cause, of course.

RIP, Mr Dale Brandreth and thank you for Caissa Editions.
