Steinitz and Green 46 from the Dundee Congress in 1867 Challenge Cup: 1. Neumann; 2. Steinitz. Handicap: 1. Steinitz and Fraser 14 games in the Steinitz - Anderssen competition in 1866 Steinitz won 8:6 and was then considered " "best player" in the world and 64 problems.The Dundee tournament is reckoned as the fourth ever international tournament of modern times. The first of modern chess is perhaps Madrid 1575 under the patronage of Phillip II won by Leonardo ahead of Ruy Lopez. There is a match tournament at Paris in 1821 between Deschappelles Labourdonais and Cochrane not usually listed - Labourdonnais won 13-1. London 1851 was a knock-out tournament won by Anderssen. London 1862 was an all-play-all tournament again won by Anderssen 12-1. But in 1862 a draw had to be replayed until a positive result was obtained. At Dundee in 1867 this carry-over from knock-out events was abandoned and "it was decided that a draw should be reckoned as half a game to each player engaged in it". The Congress of the British Chess Association President: Lord Lyttleton was held at Dundee with the preliminary meeting being in the boardroom of the Caledonian Railway Company on Tuesday September 3rd. The Congress consisted of three events: 1 The Grand Tourney of Blackburne De Vere G. B. Fraser Hamel Dr. J. Fraser Rev. MacDonnell Neumann Col. Robertson Spens and Steinitz. 2 The Handicap Tournament consisting of all the Grand Tournament players except for Hamel plus seven extra players contested on a knock-out system and won jointly by Steinitz and Dr. J. Fraser "by mutual agreement" after they in the final "owing to an alleged excess of the time limit by the latter Fraser consented to reckon their game as annulled. "This is the result of no rule or procedure being laid down for deciding the penalty for overstepping the time limit. No replay of the final game was possible "as Steinitz had to leave per steamer in the afternoon". 3 The Scottish Championship of eight players all-play-all won by Dr. J. Fraser 6-1. A contemporary newspaper report said about this event "after a very tedious contest".Harold James Ruthven Murray 1868-1955 was a British educationalist inspector of schools and prominent chess historian. His book A History of Chess is widely regarded as the most authoritative and comprehensive history of the game.Condition: An autograph dedication by Charles E. Ranken on the front end paper: P. Powter with compliments from the Publisher of the "Chess Player's Chronicle … Nov. 1883. Some foxing. Cover stained with bumped corners spine ends rubbed else very good. Scarce chess item.

JACOB, John - PELLY, Lewis (comp & ed)Biblio.com

The Views and Opinions of Brigadier General John Jacob C.B.

1858175736Bombay: Smith Taylor and Co. 1858. The thoughts of an influential British administrator in India on British policy in the east First edition of this important collection of Jacob's often controversial views; a London edition followed in the same year. The book covers general and civil administration military matters the North-West Frontier the Anglo-Persian War and Jacob's proposals for reorganizing India's civil and military administration. John Jacob 1812-1858 travelled to India in 1828 as a second lieutenant in the Bombay Artillery. He served in Gujarat before joining the Bombay column in the First Anglo-Afghan War. He was placed in charge of ordnance stores at Fort Bukkur and later appointed to command the Sind Irregular Horse under Sir James Outram. In this role he suppressed raiding in Sind and Kachhi though his support for Outram in a dispute with Charles Napier damaged his career prospects. Despite this Napier authorized him in 1846 to expand his force to 1600 horsemen. He successfully led campaigns against Bugti Baloch tribesmen and as political superintendent of Upper Sind developed frontier defences roads and canals. He also negotiated a treaty with the khan of Kalat. Promoted brigadier-general during the Persian War 1856 he commanded British forces in Persia after the fall of Muhammarah. He died of brain fever in Jacobabad in 1858 mourned by an estimated 10000 residents. The editor Lewis Pelly 1825-1892 a Bombay Army captain joined Jacob as aide-de-camp in Persia in 1857 and became brigade major of the Sind Frontier Force. After Jacob's death Pelly's career flourished under Sir Bartle Frere's patronage. He became chargé d'affaires at Tehran 1859 political agent and consul at Zanzibar 1861 and in 1863 replaced J. Felix Jones as British Resident in the Persian Gulf. Pelly relocated the residency from Bushire to Muscat expanding British influence in the Gulf. His impact is noted in Saudi Arabia's Memorial on the Muscat-Abu Dhabi territorial dispute: "Lieutenant Colonel Lewis Pelly became the British Resident in the Persian Gulf in 1863 and for the next nine years he played an important part in events there. Pelly came to the Gulf after a long association with General John Jacob whose forthright views on the position of the British in the East he admired to the point of collecting and publishing them in a volume for the enlightenment of the British public" Memorial p. 230. This first edition is scarce WorldCat showing six locations only plus the Oriental and India Office Collection British Library. We trace only a single copy of the London edition at auction. The book reflects both Jacob's strategic vision and Pelly's commitment to shaping British policy in the Gulf.
