Description:
"The latest facsimile reprint of Howard Staunton's antiquarian magazine. 1844 continues in similar vein to previous editions: the curious ""blanking out: of players name (Cochrane becomes C_____E), and eclectic letter and articles, including an entertaining preamble covering the battles between McDonnell and Bourdonnais. The games and puzzle positions are also fun to solve probably precisely because many are naive by modern standards, and contain alternative solutions" (EUR 29.00)
