The international chess congress, St. Petersburg, 1909
This is a 1910 chess tournament book edited by Emanuel Lasker and printed in New York by his own press, recording the St. Petersburg international congress of 1909 for chess players and enthusiasts. The four pictures are diagrams of chess positions shown on partial boards, with dark and light pieces in crowded endgame and middlegame arrangements, offering a designer clean geometric checkerboard patterns and crisp figurative silhouettes of pieces to adapt.
