INTRODUCTIONS

Introduction to the First Edition, December 1975

Although Australian chess literature is a poor relation of its cousins in Europe and the United States, nevertheless more books, pamphlets and magazines were printed or otherwise produced than is generally realised. Because this literature was often aimed at a limited readership and had to be produced as cheaply as possible to find readers at all, much of it is now rare and difficult to find.

In the following pages I have listed all the chess literature, issued in Australia up to December, 1975, which I have seen or have been made aware of. In order to make the list as complete as possible I have included some items which I have not seen myself, and about which only incomplete information was available. Basically I have sought to include all printed and multigraphed material except simple tournament announcements. Programmes, giving more than just the playing conditions are however included. I have not always shown the complete title of works, which are fully recorded in:

Douglas A. Betts. An annotated bibliography of works published in the English language 1850-1968. G. K. Hall & Co., Boston, 1974.

For those works I have quoted the number under which they are listed in Betts' book on top of the item concerned. For works not mentioned by Betts, I hve either shown on top of the title 'Betts --', or made no reference at all. I have generally only annotated items not shown in Betts' book, except fr some comments not found in his notes. My notes are shown between the signs # #, and include for some rare items the place where they can be found.

I have added a section 5, in which are listed sixteen chess columns published before 1930 about which I was able to provide some information concerning the starting date and the editors. These columns represent only a small collection of the many published in the past or currently still being published, but they are the main source for information on chess in Australia for the period from 1860 to 1930. It is my intention to expand this section considerably in further editions of this bibliography.

John van ManenBalgowlah, 29 December 1975

Introduction to the Second Edition, February 1978

In December 1975 I published a limited edition (50 copies) of a preliminary bibliography of Australian chess literature, which was sent to some libraries and chess colleagues interested in this literature.

- 4 -

The present book was planned as a second final edition of the earlier one, but due to omissions from the first edition I have been made aware of, and new publications issued since 1975 so many new titles had to be added, that it was not feasible just to insert the new items in an enlarged reprint. Therefore the book is completely rewritten and instead of a basically chronological arrangement of the titles the Australian literature has now been grouped under various headings. The loss of historical perspective resulting from the new arrangement has been made up for in a historical review preceding the bibliography.

The section ‘chess columns’ in the earlier book has been dropped because the data concerning these columns is still very incomplete. The State Library of Victoria has initiated a systematic search for information on these columns with the intent to get on microfilm as complete a collection as possible of Australian chess columns. It can therefore be expected that much more complete information will be available in a few years time.

A new section has been added on chess literature of New Zealand. Although possibly less complete than that on Australian literature I trust that enough less well known literature has been listed to justify inclusion of it in this work. On the older New Zealand issues the book by Douglas A. Betts, ‘An annotated bibliography of works published in the English language 1850-1968’ (Boston, 1974), was the main guide. I have tried to acknowledge the value of that work for every-one interested in chess literature, by quoting underneath the titles in my book the numbers under which they are listed in Betts’ book, if they also are mentioned by him.

As in the previous bibliography my aim has been to include - especially in respect of Australia - all printed material known to have been issued up to 31 December, 1977. The word ‘printed’ is used here and elsewhere in this book to cover any process used to produce books, pamphlets, programmes, periodicals and the like. Simple tournament announcements and manuscripts are excluded from this bibliography. It includes a few items of which, as far as I know, no copies are extant. These are the Gawler Chess Journal (no. 93 in part 1) and the NSWCA Bulletin (no. 78 in the same part). Copies of these might still turn up some day (after all, the coelacanth was found alive and well in 1938 after it was not seen for about a hundred million years) and then no reprint of this work will be required!

Programmes and other booklets, for which no author or editor is mentioned, are listed under the name of the chess organisation by or on behalf of which they were issued.

My annotations are placed between the sum signes (##) to distinguish these clearly from the title descriptions. However, information on the editors of periodicals is normally treated as part of the title description.

Although the annotations are mainly concerned with information about the contents of the entries, where that was thought to be desirable, or with determining the exact date of issue of the book mentioned, especially in the case of older literature, no fixed rule was

- 5 -

adopted for the format of the annotations. Often they consist of observations in the form of quotations or otherwise which I personally thought worth noting. The reader is not expected to always agree with the choice of the comment made.

The use of abbreviations has been avoided except for ‘s.l.e.a.’ for sine loco et anno (no place, no date) and sometimes ‘C.I.A.’ for Chess in Australia when referring to the magazine or the editor of chess literature.

Almost all items mentioned in this bibliography are held either in the original or - in some cases - in photo copy in the Anderson Chess Collection in the State Library of Victoria. I greatly appreciate the assistance received from the custodian of that collection, Mr. Ken Fraser. This assistance far surpassed what could be expected when he made available to me photostat copies of the catalogue index cards of the Australiana held in the collection. In a few cases - as indicated in the annotations - the titles in this work were simply taken from those cards.

I thank all those friends who have contributed to the collection of the material for this book, by making me aware of items I would otherwise have missed. I trust that thanks to their help not much has been overlooked in the Australian section of the bibliography.

A final word of thanks goes to Miss Catherina Tsang for typing-out so nicely the master copy of this book.

John van ManenMona Vale, February 1978.

Introduction to the Second Edition, First Supplement, 1983

Since the publication of my “The Chess Literature of Australia and New Zealand” (referred to here as “the Annotated Bibliography”) in 1978 several items of pre-1978 chess literature not listed in the Annotated Bibliography have been found. Moreover the years 1979 to 1982 have seen the publication of a lot of new literature.

I therefore now present a Supplement to the 1978 publication, listing all the items of literature up to the end of 1982 of which I have been made aware of, as well as those earlier publications not yet mentioned in the Annotated Bibliography.

I have used this Supplement to also note corrections and further information (if required) concerning the items already listed in the Annotated Bibliography.

The Annotated Bibliography contained 121 numbers of Australian literature and 35 numbers of New Zealand literature. In this Supplement the Australian items are therefore numbered from 122 onwards and the New Zealand ones from Item number 36.

- 6 -

My annotations (if any) are again placed between the sum signs (##) to distinguish these from the title descriptions.

This publication would not have been possible without the help received from friends of whom I mention in particular Ken Fraser, the custodian of the Anderson Chess Collection in the State Library of Victoria, and Robert Jamieson, who gave me a list of all Australian and New Zealand chess items in his extensive collection of chess literature.

I thank Bob Meadley and Peter Stuart for their assistance in finding the following important information.

The first New Zealand chess magazine was the New Zealand Chess Chronicle, of which Bob Meadley obtained a photostat copy from the Cleveland Public Library. The editor is not mentioned in that paper and so his name did not appear in the Annotated Bibliography. However, he is identified as N.B.K.Manley under the obituary notices in the book about the 30th and 31st Congresses of the New Zealand Chess Association (see item 9 on page 34 of the Annotated Bibliography). Further research in the Christchurch “Star” of 1917 gave his full name and date of death:

Nicholas Benjamin Kent Manley, died 1 August 1917, aged 53.

John van ManenModbury Heights, January 1983.

Introduction to the Second Edition, Second Supplement, 1989

This second supplement to ‘The Chess Literature of Australia and New Zealand’ (1978), of which a (first) ‘Supplement’ was published in 1983, contains a few pre-1983 items of literature not yet mentioned in the previous publications, a large number of items published since 1983, and some notes on items already recorded in the earlier issues mentioned.

The current listing includes 68 new Australian titles (numbered from no. 187), and 17 new New Zealand titles (numbered from no. 45 onwards). The aim of the work has again been to give a simple listing, with some annotations placed between the sum signs (##), of all ‘literature’ published. As such much information normally found in a more professional bibliography is missing. On the other hand it includes many items which would have been ignored by a professional.

As always, Ken Fraser, the custodian of the Anderson Chess Collection in the State Library of Victoria, has been a great help in the search for sometimes hard to obtain publications and for information concerning them. Without his help several items would not have found a place in this booklet.

- 7 -

At my request Peter Stuart from Auckland (New Zealand), a former editor of the magazine ‘New Zealand Chess’, consented to write this time the New Zealand section of the supplement. It is difficult to pick up every item of chess literature published in a country if you are living in that country. It is well-nigh impossible to do so when you are not on the spot. I am therefore very grateful for Peter’s assistance with the preparation of the second supplement.

John van ManenModbury Heights, August 1989

Introduction to the Third Edition, 2003

The four booklets issued by John in 1975, 1978, 1983 and 1989 have been combined and updated to November 2003 to accommodate the online wishes of the Australian Chess Federation. Items are generally chronological, but State publications have been placed together in the Periodicals sections. The subject area Australian Literature Published Overseas has been widened to include articles in overseas publications about Australian chess players in an historical context. It does not include Australian Grandmaster’s or Masters results in recent overseas tournaments.

A new section on problem and endings literature has been included. All titles are highlighted. The format is based on that used by John.

Numbers in brackets are those in the 3 hard-copy booklets published 1978-1989.

The Newspaper columns article has been the subject of constant revision. Many of the newspapers remain to be fully checked.

Volume 1 is now out of print though the publishers are planning a reprint in 2003. One could almost claim that Cecil Purdy was to Australian Chess what Don Bradman was to cricket. Despite their vintage, his annotations have a clarity and depth that still work as well as ever in the 21st century, though his book recommendations (some of which are produced here) look decidedly dated. This volume contains 120 annotated games taken from the periodical Chess World, ranging from world over the board championships to domestic Australian encounters, plus 13 articles from his prodigious journalistic output. Fascinating stuff and highly recommended.” BCM March 2002 p.141. #

Part 3 The Newspaper & Periodical Chess Columns of Australia and New Zealand

As was mentioned in the Foreword to John van Manen’s 1978 Bibliography, there is a need to include the above to avoid duplicating research. The below information is sketchy and combines the work done by H.B. Bignold, A.C. White & H.J.R. Murray, the latter updated by Ken Whyld.

Part 4 Nineteenth Century Chess Columns in Victoria (1856-1900) by Ken Fraser.

Introduction:-This article is a sprat thrown in to catch a much-needed mackeral. It is a contribution towards what we hope will become an accurate list of Australian chess columns from their beginnings up to about 1930. For that period the columns are the major source of material for our chess historians who at present are hindered by lack of accurate information.

Australian material is contained in older world-wide lists such as the ones Johann Berger published in Schachjahrbuch (1892 and 1899) or which A.C. White published in the Norwich Mercury (1908). H.J.R. Murray expanded Berger and White when he compiled a list of some 1700 titles about 1938. Although Murray’s list remains unpublished the Australian and New Zealand entries in it have been extracted and circulated to interested people in a couple of versions. the latest of these was put together by Ken Whyld in December 1978.

These lists came under the microscope a year or so ago when a program was begun in the M.V. Anderson Chess Collection which aimed at putting together as complete a collection of Australian chess columns as possible. With hindsight the program is possibly over-ambitious but the necessary first stage is a listing of the columns, state by state, with accurate details of when they began, when they finished, how often they appeared and, if possible, who edited them.

It was when we began to do this that we ran up against problems connected with the earlier lists. They are invaluable in providing the names of newspapers and journals but they need to be used with caution and the entries must be carefiully checked. The details which they give are unfortuantely often inaccurate and sometimes misleading.

As an example we may cite the Melbourne journal Town and Country. It ran a chess column from 1872 until the journal itself ceased in 1875 yet Murray lists the column as 1875-1886 while White gives the dates as 1877-1886. Several of the Victorian newspapers mentioned in White and Murray do not contain chess columns. They often contained news items about chess but not a regular column. These are the Age, the Argus, the Ballarat Courier, the Standard (Warrnambool) and the Vitcorian Review.

What follows is a list of the chess columns published in Victoria in the nineteenth century. The list is given first of all chronologically according to the date the column first appeared and then the columns are listed alphabettically with the dates of their publication and, where identification has been possible, the names of the editors. All columns have been checked in the newspaper or periodical concerned.

A distinction has been drawn between the “major” and the “minor” columns. The major columns are the ones which appeared, each for seventy years or more, in the

- 123 -

Australasian, the Leader, and the Weekly Times. These three dominate the scene and to the historian they are indispensable.

The minor columns round out the picture of Victorian chess. they rarely last more than a few years, they are usually dependent on one or two enthusiasts and are sometimes quite localised, indeed parochial, in their reporting. Yet it is these very qualities that make them valuable.

NOTE:- The author will willingly provide any notes he has to anyone wanting to produce similar lists for the other states.

Hay is the only editor actually named in the column. After he finished no name appeared at all until May 1913 when a series of pseudonyms began to be used. With the exception of 1939 - 1949 this continued to the close of the column.On the assumption that a change of pseudonym implies a change of editor these names can provide clues to the exact dates of some editorships. “Gambit” is an exception. According to a MS list of editors compiled by G. Gundersen, Myers began in July 1938 while Beale is known to have started in late 1941.The pseudonyms and the possible identifications are:“Muzio” 10.5.1913 - 15.3.1924 C.G.

Postcript:

Apart from the three major chess columns, those described in this article are confined to the nineteenth century. A listing of the columns in the twentieth century is in preparation which will add a substantial number to those enumerated here. It will include for example both the Age and Argus newspapers which in the nineteenth century had published regular chess material in their respective weeklies, the Leader and the Australasian.
