✴️ About Steinitz
🔸 Wilhelm Steinitz
🔸 American-Austrian chess Master
🔸 First World Chess Champion
📚 Wilhelm Steinitz was an Austrian and later American chess master, and the first undisputed World Chess Champion, from 1886 to 1894. He was also a highly influential writer and chess theoretician.
♦️ Perhaps no chess player represented the spirit of nineteenth century America better than Wilhelm Steinitz (1836-1900). His intelligence, innovation, arrogance, and shameless self-promotion led some to call him the "father of modern chess."
📚 Born in the Bohemian city of Prague on May 17, 1836, Steinitz was the last of thirteen children in a very poor family.
Chess first entered his life in 1848, but did not gain importance until he moved to Vienna in 1856, where he studied math at the Polytechnic. Money problems and poor health forced him to drop out of school. Chess matches involving a wager, helped supplement the income he made as a journalist.
Steinitz traveled to London in 1862 for his first appearance in an international tournament.
Steinitz is considered by many to be one of the all-time greatest chess writers in the English language, no small feat for one who adopted the language late in life. He wrote a column on chess for the London Figaro in 1876 to 1882. Steinitz also contributed articles to Ashore or Afloat (1883), the New York Tribune (1890-93) and the New York Herald (1893). His most important columns appeared in The Field from 1873 to 1882. These columns featured annotated games that were a vast improvement on previous annotations . . . .
