Around 1860 a wave of talented youth intensified the Berlin chess scene. Within a short time Berthold Suhle, Philipp Hirschfeld and Gustav Neumann ranked among the best players in the world. Despite their achievements little has been known about their lives and games. Drawing on a range of sources, the authors fill this gap.

No chess player of the 19th century had a longer, more varied career than Henry Edward Bird (1829-1908). This comprehensive first biography of Bird provides a detailed account of his personal life and a deeply researched coverage of his feats at the chess board. Almost 1,200 games are included, hundreds of them published here for the first time.
