SPECIAL PUBLICATION
Gillam (Tony): Mannheim 1914
and the Interned Russians. The Chess Player 2014. Hardback. 522pp. 94 games
(the other 5 are lost) from the Masters’ Tournament at Mannheim which was
broken off when World War 1 began, with extensive notes. Alekhine won ahead of
Vidmar, Spielmann, Breyer, Marshall, Reti, Janowski, Bogoljubow, Tarrasch,
Duras, John, Tartakower, Fahrni, Post, Carls, Krüger, Flamberg and Mieses. 90 games from the lower sections (all that
are known), many never published before, many with notes. 103 games from the tournaments played by the
interned players in Baden Baden and Triberg, plus other games played in
consultation, in matches and by correspondence. All the available games, many
with notes. Almost half the book, more
than 250 pages, tells the full story of what happened when the tournament was
broken off – a story never told before of the arrests, internments, the ones
that got away. The author has attempted to follow all 40 Russians who were at
Mannheim playing, reporting and spectating and to tell their stories. Magazine
and newspaper articles are quoted from the USA, Britain, Germany, Russia, the
Netherlands, Italy, Sweden, France, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Australia
and more. Alekhine’s story has some surprises!
The book contains (approximately) 373 games and 1 problem, 232 diagrams
and 130 illustrations (photographs, maps, documents). In early August 1914 there were 12 Russians
left in Mannheim facing internment and by mid-1918 there were just 2 left. The
book explains how and why. This is one
of the strangest stories in modern chess and it is has now been researched and
recounted for the first time. £40.00
