Item description from seller

[3]+43 pages with tables, index and diagrams. Quarto (10" x 8 14") bound in original publisher's blue cloth. Cordingley limited editions of tournament books number 16. Notes by I Konig, supplemented by notes of M Euwe, H Steiner, etal, specially written for this record of the first large post-war chess congress. (Betts: 25-86) First edition limited to 270 copies of which this is number 247. Typescript, numbered as leaves, but stenciled on both sides. All 132 games, annotated with and index of openings. In January 1946, less than one week after Hastings (1945/46), the newspaper Sunday Chronicle sponsored a Victory Tournament in Farringdon-street Memorial Hall, London, with Walter Hatton-Ward as director. The idea was to celebrate the end of the war, with attendance of masters from all over the world. Things had been lined up for the biggest of events, but eventually it became clear that the Russians would not turn up. Moreover, the participation of the World Champion Alexander Alekhine was protested against by Max Euwe and the Dutch Chess Federation, and by Arnold Denker and the USCF, because of alleged Nazi sympathies. In November 1945, Hatton-Ward wrote to Alekhine and cancelled the invitation. The players were divided into two supposedly equally strong groups, A and B. The A-group consisted of Steiner - California champion (1945) and US Open winner (1942), Bernstein - who had "quit" chess in 1907, Tartakower - nearly 60 years old and recent Hastings winner, Opocensky - the Czechoslovak champion, Prins - winner of Dutch tournaments before the war, List - UK immigrant from Russia and also almost 60, Pomar - child prodigy from Spain and a pupil of Alekhine, Fairhurst - British (1937) and Scottish champion, Broadbent - the UK Northern Counties champion, Golombek - soon to become British champion, and Stone of Britain and Friedmann of Czechoslovakia. On Saturday 26th, Steiner won the A Group, and garnered one of the two silver cups given by (James) Gomer Berry, 1st Viscount Kemsely. The second cup went to London B (1946) winner Max Euwe. Section B: First Euwe, second Christoffel and third Denker. Condition: Corners bumped, touch of rubbing to hinges else a very good copy.
