Description:
"Another busy year for Steinitz, with coverage of his World Championship matches against Chigorin in Havana (in 1889 but reported here) and Isidor Gunsberg in New York. He defends opening theories (not entirely successfully) in an acrimonious cable match with Chigorin. Elsewhere, ""Dreckseele"" of Chess Monthly comes in for more Steinitzian abuse, and Mr. Sonnenborn writes in with an explanation of the Sonnenborn-Berger tie-break system. 388 pages"
