re: #115 Joe Bacon ✅

Steve that’s a beautiful set! I have a set and board that GM Gufeld willed to me after he passed away. It’s a beautiful Russian set.

I think that’s the Dover edition of Tartakower’s 100 Games Of Master Chess in your picture!

it is indeed, which is better than the much better known 500 games that the two of them did before it. let’s face it: chess from the late 30’s through very early 50’s just looks better from a modern player’s perspective than some of those hoary old games from the mid 1800s. i remember you mentioning you’d gotten Gufeld’s set. well done!
