CHESS I Games-— Problems By Paul L Cromelin ’ “MORPHY GLEANINGS” This latest output from the tireless pen of-Philip W Sergeant supplements- the three editions of “Morphy’s Games of Chess’’ by the same author It presents all the additional material of a biographical nature that has come to light since 1916 about the meteoric American master and includes in the section on games three hitherto unpublished scores Styles in the play-of -the kingly game: change This statement is amply supported by a glance at the index page of “Morphy Gleanings” Here we find that of the 36 games listed as Morphy's the Evans Gambit -is essayed eleven times the Queen's Gambit once In the latest international tournament London 1932 in which a total of 66 games were played the Queen’s Pawn opened 37 encounters the Evans Gambit being entirely ignored Yet to the amateur a study of Morphy’s methods of play would be more beneficial than an equal amount of time spent on the closed game of the modern master who strives for - positional advantage sufficient to win The late Richard Reti has stated that “A knowledge of combination is- the foundation of position play” With this in mind we can unhesitatingly recommend the games in “Morphy Gleanings” as a foundation for developing a knowledge of combination.
In addition to the games played by:: Morphy 15 games between MacDonnall and Labourdonnais are included These were annotated by Morphy during the year that he was editor of the chess column on the N Y Ledger 1859-60 In an even more complete biography of the American master Sergeant definitely puts an end to the rumors that chess brought about the insanity that touched him in later life He also completes all that has been written on the vain efforts of the American champion to play Staunton the British champion in a match to determine the World’s Championship ' “Morphy Gleanings” will surely be a welcome addition to the all too limited pages that have been written about the greatest chess player that America and perhaps the world has ever known Published by The David McKay Co Philadelphia Pa Price $250 The deciding game in the countyleague match between Mount Vernon and Rye was adjudicated a win for Ceruzzi of Rye this decision resulting in a drawn match between the two teams.
