Baird I learned to play chess early in life, and was immediately fascinated by the game.
There were thousands of beautiful games, brimming with brilliant ideas to play over, wonderful problems to solve, and fanciful endgames to revel in. Chess offered everything to beguile the faculties and pleasure the soul. There was excitement too in following the careers of the great masters. What more glorious heroes could a young man have than Morphy, Pillsbury and Capablanca? I read books on chess, magazines on chess and newspaper columns on chess. I bought books on chess-as many as I could afford. But where most young amateurs studied master games to improve their own play, I was content to read (and subconsciously do research) about chess for my own enjoyment.
I did not confine myself to master games, absorbing though they were. I could indulge myself in all the splendid variety of chess-the problems, endings, anecdotes, the facts and fancies about chess and its players. There was a vast literature on chess, greater in fact than that of all other games combined. So I made notes in my little black book of the most interesting of my discoveries, as I was bursting to show these choice morsels to my friends who played chess (and to some who didn't-but should have). Eventually my opportunity came. When Chess Review came into being, I was offered a column in which I could write on any phase of chess which interested me.
So I wrote on various themes, happy to share the fruits of my readings and researches with fellow chess players. My topics covered King Wanderings, Galloping Knights, Fantastic Positions, Purely Personal Opinions, Curious Chess Facts, and everything else that pleased, amused, or excited me.

Appropriately enough though, my first column was headed Curious Chess Facts, and in it I related the strange, beautiful and sometimes incredible things that occurred to chess players in the course of their careers. This was followed by similar columns which appeared in Chess Review, American Chess Bulletin and British Chess Magazine, and which created a great deal of interest in the happenings in 'the small flat world of chess,' as Gilbert Highet phrased it. Eventually I compiled 206 of these chess tidbits into a booklet which was published in 1937 under the title Curious Chess Facts. This work has been out of print for several years. The present book is an enlarged version of the original edition, as many more curious facts have been added, and with them illustrative games.
I submit my discoveries for your delectation and your astonishment. San Francisco, January I974 Category: Games & Activities.
Author: Tim Harding ISBN: 691 Genre: Games & Activities File Size: 35.63 MB Format: PDF, Mobi Download: 395 Read: 989 A huge amount was published about chess in the United Kingdom before the First World War. The growing popularity of chess in Victorian Britain was reflected in an increasingly competitive market of books and periodicals aimed at players from beginner to expert. The author combines new information about the early history of the game with advice for researchers into chess history and traces the further development of chess literature well into the 20th century.
Topics include today’s leading chess libraries and the use of digitized chess texts and research on the Web. Special attention is given to the columns that appeared in newspapers (national and provincial) and magazines from 1813 onwards. These articles, usually weekly, provide a wealth of information on early chess, much of which is not to be found elsewhere. The lengthy first appendix, an A to Z of almost 600 chess columns, constitutes a detailed research aid. Other appendices include corrections and supplements to standard works of reference on chess.
