Description:
343 pages. Duodecimo (5 ½" x 3 ¼"). Bound in vellum with black lettering to spine. Originally written in 1619 in Italian. [Biblioteca van Der Niemeijeriana: 402]Gioachino Greco, also known as Il Calabrese, was born around 1600 in Celico, which near Cosenza in Calabria. Calabria had already produced such players as Leonardo di Bono and Michele di Mauro. From his writing it's apparent the he wasn't educated and likely came from a lower class family. Already in 1619, Greco started keeping a notebook of tactics and particularly clever games and he took up the custom of giving copies of his manuscripts to his wealthy patrons. In Rome Monsignor Corsino della casa Minutoli Tegrini, Cardinal Savelli and Monsignor Francisco Buoncompagni all received copies (of which there are extant copies, dated 1620 in the Corsiniana library in Rome, under the title, Trattato del nobilissimo gioco de scacchi). Despite his popularity in Rome, in 1621 Greco took off to test himself against the rest of Europe leaving this…

MERY, Joseph. L'Arbitre des Jeux accompagné de petits poëmes historiques : contenant la marche, l'histoire, les règles, la législation et la bibliographie de tous les jeux anciens et suivi d'un aperçu sur le calcul des probabilités. Paris, Gabriel de Gonet, 1847.
Small 16mo (107 x 71mm), pp. [iv], 506; occasionally light foxing,original ribbed cloth, spine ruled and lettered in gilt; a crisp copy.
First edition, uncommon of this charming guide to all manner of games, similar to the various Academies des Jeux. It is a virtual dictionary of card games, games of chance and games of skill, and of great interest for its coverage of the Civil Code for laws on games and gambling, its fifteen-page bibliography based on the collection at the Bibliothèque Royale, its glossary of the terminology of gambling and its poems (on card games, chess and trictrac).
Joseph Mery (1797-1866) wrote a number of opera librettos, collaborated with Gerard de Nerval on Shakespeare adaptations and other plays, and is today best known as the co-librettist of the original version in French of Verdi's Don Carlos. He was an inveterate gambler, and traveled through Europe, because of restrictions on gambling in France. A lover of chess, he founded the first chess magazine Le Palamède in 1836, and ten years later published this collection of rules of games, accompanied by poems on the theme.
OCLC: a handful of copies in the Netherlands and France, no copies outside of Europe.

Over the next two years sixty-two chess clubs would become members of the foundling chess federation.

First edition limited to 575 copies.As one of the contestants in the first official World Championship match in 1886, Johannes Hermann Zukertort (1842-1888), is undeniably one of the great players of chess history. Despite a commanding lead in the early stages of that match, Zukertort ultimately had to bow for Steinitz, plagued by health problems that would cause his untimely death only two years later. The high-point of Zukertort s career was his triumph at the 1883 super-tournament in London. His dazzling win against Blackburne still stands as one of the greatest games of all time. Acclaimed chess author Jimmy Adams presents a selection of Zukertort s best games, mainly annotated by Zukertort himself, and a collection of insightful articles on Zukertort from contemporary sources. At heart, Zukertort always remained an artist of the…

However, in 1499, after the death of his father, Castiglione left his studies and Milan to succeed his father as the head of their noble family. Soon his duties seem to have included representative offices for the Gonzaga court. For the Gonzaga he traveled quite often; during one…

From the library of Dino Ruggieri. Volume VIII (8). (Betts: 7-25). First edition.The Chess Monthly of Great Britain was one of the first to give properly annotated games. The principal editor, Leopold Hoffer, was helped enormously by having J H Zukertort as co-editor until his death in 1888. There were four regular sections: news, annotated games, problems and endgames. In addition, Hoffer carried on a profoundly bitter feud with his one-time benefactor, Steinitz. This publication should not be confused with The Chess Monthly published in the United States which was short lived from 1857-1862 and edited by Fiske and Morphy.Dino Ruggieri was born in, Pigüé a small city in the Buenos Aires province, October 22, 1921. His parents were both Italians, natives of Porto D'Ascoli. In their early years in Argentina, the Ruggieri’s…
