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.
