Neumann, Hirschfeld and Suhle is a detailed historical study of three major figures from 19th-century Berlin chess: Gustav Neumann, Philipp Hirschfeld, and Berthold Suhle.
From McFarland, this book explains how, around 1860, a group of young players emerged as a strong force, transforming the Berlin chess scene. Within a short time, Suhle, Hirschfeld, and Neumann became among the strongest players in the world.
Their later lives took very different paths. Suhle became an expert in ancient Greek, Hirschfeld became a successful businessman while still playing chess, and Neumann continued improving to become one of the world’s strongest players.
Despite their importance, little was previously known about their lives and games. This book fills that gap using a wide range of historical sources.
It includes annotated games with both original and modern analysis, an introductory section on Berlin chess before 1860, and an appendix on Bernhard von Guretzky-Cornitz.
A valuable book for chess historians, collectors, and serious players, especially those interested in early German chess history and classical master play.
