Produktinformationen "Eade: San Francisco 1995"

Grandmaster Invitational Chess Tournament

San Francisco, 1995 tells the story of one of the strongest and perhaps most interesting Grandmaster Chess tournaments in United States history. Organized to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the signing of the United Nations' charter in San Francisco in 1945, the tournament combined playing strength and diversity in an unprecedented fashion.

The roster of stars spanned generations, crossed political and economic boundaries, and included the women's World Champion, Xie Jun, of China, and history's strongest African-American chess player, Maurice Ashley, of New York. Whether young or old, man or woman, communist or capitalist, there was someone for everyone.

These champions from the former Soviet Union, China, England, Germany, Norway, Switzerland and the United States vied for supremacy for two grueling weeks. They produced some of the finest fighting chess ever witnessed in this country, and their analysis of the games fill these pages. It was only fitting that such a competitive event was ultimately won by the greatest fighter of them all, Viktor Kortchnoi.

Group dinners, outings and other special events were liberally sprinkled throughout producing new friendships and rekindling old ones. The author and chief organizer of the event, James Eade, does his best to wipe the star dust from his eyes and capture the personalities of the players from his unique point-of view.

Eade, an internationally titled player in his own right, is President of the Chess Journalists of America, editor of the California Chess Journal and past president of the Northern California Chess Association. His previous book, Remember the MacCutcheon, was published by Chess Enterprises in 1991. Grandmaster Nick de Firmian provides the lion's share of the analysis, while annotations from Kortchnoi, Hübner and Nunn are also included.
