BCPS Library Catalogue, 20 Jan 11: Introduction Page 1 This catalogue lists the British Chess Problem Society's Library as at 20 January 2011. It is divided into sections as follows: - published books and pamphlets; - periodicals; - tourney awards; - manuscripts and other unpublished material; - problem collections on cards; - photographs and similar items; - miscellanea. Everything available in the library is listed, though a small amount of the material has yet to be examined in detail. However, the catalogue is continually being reviewed and revised, and notification of any error or omission (in particular, of a misinterpretation of something in a foreign language, or of a failure to record an issue missing from the run of a periodical) will be appreciated. The catalogue has been designed to be readily transportable between computers, and to be searched on a computer which offers nothing more sophisticated than an elementary editing program. The text has therefore been confined to the characters ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 0123456789 !"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^`{|}~ and whatever characters are used to represent "space" and "new line". Accents and other diacritical marks have been suppressed, and names and titles in non-Latin alphabets have been transliterated. However, the present librarian does not read any non-Latin language, and experience has shown that the transliteration procedure is susceptible to inconsistency. Readers searching for items in non-Latin languages should therefore allow for alternative spellings. The catalogue can be downloaded from the Internet without charge. It can also be made available on disc or in printed form, and any member wishing to receive it thus should contact the Librarian (a charge is normally made). All copies are supplied in paginated form ready for printing (80 characters per line, 66 lines per page). The Library owes a great deal to donations and bequests by members and their families. This catalogue identifies such material as far as is practicable, but there are inevitable omissions because information has not been preserved. Any reader able to to shed further light is warmly invited to do so. The Library is the private property of the Society, and those who are not members may visit it only by invitation; but an invitation will usually be extended even to persons having no previous connection with the Society if the visitor agrees to observe the rules of the Library and the sole or primary object of the visit is to consult material which was published in Great Britain or Northern Ireland and is not in the British Library. Visitors are asked to give not less than 48 hours notice (not counting Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays) and to indicate any items which they would particularly like to see, so that material normally stored elsewhere can be made available.

BCPS Library Catalogue, 20 Jan 11: Published books and pamphlets Page 2 Section 1: Published books and pamphlets In general, an item is listed in this section if it appears to have been formally published in its present form or to be a transcription of published material. Draft and other apparently unpublished material is catalogued under "manuscripts". However, the print runs of problem material are sometimes very short, and the distinction between "copied for publication" and "copied only for private circulation" is not always clear. The listing of an item within this section does not constitute evidence that an author, printer, distributor, or other person is a "publisher" within the meaning either of English law or of the law of any other country. Except where otherwise stated, material listed in this section is held in the bookcases at the entrance to the library. Items are listed in the order in which they are stored on the shelves, with cross-references as appropriate (for example, under the names of second and later authors). Oversize items are held on the bottom shelves of two bookcases; otherwise, with the few exceptions noted below, storage is in alphabetical order, the first author's name being taken as the key if it appears on the cover of the book and the title if no author's name appears. Names and titles in non-Roman alphabets are collated as if transliterated. Note, however, that only the information on the OUTSIDE of the book is taken into consideration in deciding where it is stored. If no author's name appears on the outside, it is neither necessary nor useful to look for one inside in order to put the book back in the right place; quite the reverse, in fact. The main exceptions to these general rules are as follows: - Korschelt's paper "Der gereinigite Alexander", which is a set of corrections to Alexandre's "Collection" of 1846, is stored therewith, and the two are regarded as a single volume for loan purposes; - a book entitled "Fairy chess / C. M. Fox series" is actually a bound set of T. R. Dawson's "C. M. Fox" booklets, together with N. M. Gibbins's booklet "Fairy chess problems", and is stored under "Dawson" next to the individual booklets; - Sutherland and Lommer's "1234 modern end-game studies" is stored under "Lommer" so that it is adjacent to Lommer's "1357 end-game studies". - Material in Chinese and Japanese is stored after "Z". The attribution of edited selections and collections sometimes presents a difficulty. Is such a book a collection of X's work edited by Y, or a book by Y about X? Examination suggests that neither answer is universally appropriate, and a view has been taken on the apparent merits of each individual case; but where such a book is stored and listed under the name of the editor, there is always a cross-reference under the name of the composer. Between 1967 and 1992, each book in the library was identified by a code number (for example, "A1") and books were stored in code number order. In 1992, the archive, whose contents had not been given equivalent numbers, was merged with the library, and the assignment of these numbers was discontinued. Where an existing number is clearly visible on the outside of the book, it is noted here for ease of checking, but new accessions are not being given code numbers, and some of the existing numbers are embossed into "Dymo" tape and may fall off in the course of time.

BCPS Library Catalogue, 20 Jan 11: Periodicals Page 107 Section 2: Periodicals Periodicals are indexed in alphabetical order of title, any initial "The" or similar word being ignored. In general, issues are identified by date, but some periodicals are more conveniently identified by volume and issue number. Months are expressed in lower case Roman numerals i-xii; dates are given in the order "m.y" or "d.m.y"; an issue whose month is recorded as "i=ii" is a composite issue covering more than one month. The recording of years as two-digit numbers has been discontinued, and any which remains is an error and should be reported. The list of years at the head of an entry merely specifies the year or years for which some material is held, and does not assert that the holding for each or any year is complete. Holdings recorded as "problem pages only" may or may not include endgame study pages. Many issues are represented by photocopies. For a description of "Black Books", see the section on manuscript material. Where a periodical is still being received, this catalogue may not record the latest holding nor identify isolated issues not held. Enquiry should be made of the Librarian. 0-0 1979-2.

BCPS Library Catalogue, 20 Jan 11: Unpublished and personal material Page 142 Section 4: Unpublished and personal material This section lists material which appears not to have been formally published, and also personal material such as copies of obituaries. It includes unpublished books and articles, texts of lectures to the Society, author's drafts of material subsequently published, private notes, personal problem collections and scrapbooks, and so on. Manuscripts copied wholesale from published books and periodicals are generally listed under the book or periodical from which they were taken, but selective or reorganized extracts (for example, cuttings of articles dealing with a particular topic) appear here. "Black Books" are small black notebooks 16cm x 10cm, usually of 100 pages. Most carry a date, but these dates are not necessarily definitive since material may have been added after the initial compilation. In assigning dates in this catalogue, a view has been taken as to whether any particular collection appears to have been written all at one time, but the evidence is not always clear and other views may well be reasonable. A very small amount of the unpublished material in the Library, although accepted in good faith, has proved to be of such a nature that its dissemination may be expected to distress members still alive or the families and friends of members recently deceased. This material has accordingly been withdrawn, and no reference to it appears in this catalogue. If any reader considers that any other unpublished material in the Library should be similarly withdrawn, he is asked to inform the Librarian immediately. ALBERT, E.

BCPS Library Catalogue, 20 Jan 11: Problem collections Page 176 Section 5: Problem collections PROBLEM COLLECTIONS ON CARDS. The Library holds over fifty boxes containing collections of problems on cards or loose-leaf diagrams. In the brief descriptions which follow, estimates of size have been obtained by counting small samples and multiplying up, and estimates of content (two-movers, three-movers, etc) have also been obtained by sampling. Most of the boxes appear to be restricted to problems of a particular length, but the possibility that sampling has misrepresented the content of a mixed box cannot be excluded. All problems appear to be direct mates unless stated otherwise. The collections are normally classified by theme, often in considerable detail, but no account of this has been taken here. (a) 23 boxes of the White-Hume collection, mainly direct mates but with some selfmates. In total, these appear to amount to around 100,000 problems, divided roughly 5:4:1 between two-movers, three-moves, and longer problems, but the thematic classification may have caused some duplication. (b) A collection on postcards held in 16 Clarke's shoe boxes, now numbered from C1 upwards. Boxes C1 to C9 appear to be largely restricted to two-movers, though box C5 contains some longer problems; the remaining boxes have not yet been investigated. The total appears to amount to over 10,000 problems, but again the thematic classification may have caused duplication. (c) A large cardboard box addressed to G. W. Chandler, containing perhaps 3000 problems, mainly and perhaps entirely three-movers, apparently collected by T. C. D. Ricketts. (d) A box containing perhaps 1250 fairy problems from the Kemp archive. (e) A box containing perhaps 1000 problems from the Dawson-Pirnie collection, mainly three-movers but with some longer problems. (f) A box containing perhaps 500 problems, mainly and perhaps entirely two-movers, collected by G. C. Alvey and presented by N. G. Alvey. (g) A box containing approximately 320 problems on the Schiffmann theme, originally collected by R. C. McWilliam and bequeathed by him. (h) 10 boxes containing the Dawson collection, not investigated in detail. Presented by C. J. Feather. These collections are likely to be of particular interest to compilers of problem databases on computer, since they include many problems which originally appeared in publications now not easily found and they present material in a simple standardized format. They are available on long-term loan, and where a would-be borrower is actively engaged in compiling a computer database and undertakes to make the results of his work available to members, consideration will be given to waiving the normal rule that Society property be not taken outside the UK. BCPS Library Catalogue, 20 Jan 11: Problem collections Page 177 CHESSBASE ENDSPIEL-CD. The Library holds three CD-ROMs containing definitive "Thompson" five-man endgame databases. These are not available on loan, but the Librarian is willing to provide an enquiry service to members by which a position or series of positions can be inspected and the result and best move reported. (Note originally added 15.vii.2000, revised 6.iii.2004 and 12.vi.2009. These "Thompson five-man" CD-ROMs have now been superseded by the "Nalimov" five-man and six-man tablebases, some of which are automatically accessed by various proprietary chess programs as the endgame is reached and all of which can be interrogated via Eiko Bleicher's web site , and the enquiry service mentioned here is now rarely used. It will remain available as long as the present Librarian is in post, but there would seem to be no reason for a future Librarian to provide it.) BCPS Library Catalogue, 20 Jan 11: Photographs and similar items Page 178 Section 6: Photographs and similar items This section lists only the items that are held in the albums in the "Photos" boxes; it does not include photographs which appear in books and pamphlets elsewhere in the Library. There are four conventional albums containing items denoted by A-D, a set of transparent wallets in a clip containing items E, an envelope of cartoons from the Manchester Chess Club archives containing items F, a further large envelope containing items G, and an envelope of negatives.

A PORTRAIT OF JOSEF POSPISIL BY BOHUMIL KUBISTA. A newspaper cutting with this title (apparently from Terence Mullaly's column in "The Daily Telegraph", c.1959), previously catalogued as "retained pending further research regarding its date and subject", is now rejected as having no chess interest. According to the Czech "Mala encyklopedie sachu", the problem composer Josef Pospisil lived from 1861 to 1916; according to Benezit's "Dictionnaire des peintres, etc", Kubista lived from 1884 to 1918. On this evidence, the composer would have been at least fifty at the date of the painting, and so he can hardly be the young man featured therein. POSTCARDS. A set of ten cartoon postcards by J.

The final report, including a problem which could not be reproduced in the interim report, can be found in the booklet "Belfort 1994" in section "Publications", but the interim report has been retained because it includes the director's acknowledgements in his original English. In "unbound papers" files, under "W". BCPS Library Catalogue, 20 Jan 11: General rules Page 196 General rules 1. The Library is maintained for the benefit of members. Members are entitled to visit it, whether for research or for recreation, and, subject to the rules below, to borrow from it. The Librarian is also willing, subject to his other commitments, to provide a limited research and enquiry service to members who cannot visit the Library personally, but he cannot undertake to provide the service which a fully staffed institutional library would be able to offer. 2. Arrangements for personal visits should be made with the Librarian. There are no formal visiting hours and there are times and periods when access cannot be granted, but as a general principle visitors are accommodated whenever it is practicable. They are asked to give not less than 48 hours notice (not counting Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays) and to indicate any items which they would particularly like to see, so that material normally stored elsewhere can be made available. The Library is housed in a basement workroom which offers heat, light, a convenient working table, and a power point for a personal computer; it can be used without disturbing the rest of the household. Visitors to the Library are asked not to smoke. 3. As a general principle, and subject always to the discretion of the Librarian, an Ordinary Member may have up to three volumes out on loan at any time, and a Fellow may have up to five. In the case of unbound magazines and other material not in book form, what constitutes a "volume" is decided by the Librarian. Requests to borrow additional material are normally granted only for the purposes of research towards the publication of a book, article, lecture, or other such work, and account is taken of the likelihood that the material may be required by another member during the currency of the loan. 4. In the first instance, a loan is normally for 60 days. Where no other member wishes to borrow or consult the material, an extension is normally granted on request, but any such extension is subject to the willingness of the borrower to return the material on demand. 5. It is a condition of each and every loan that the borrower: - takes good care of the borrowed material while it is in his custody; - makes good to the Society any loss or damage incurred while the borrowed material is in his custody (but see Rule 12); - does not copy or permit copying from any material which the Librarian has directed is not to be copied; - does not in any case copy or permit copying except with the permission of the copyright holder or as otherwise permitted by law; - does not take the borrowed material outside the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland without the prior permission of the Librarian; - returns the borrowed material promptly at the end of the initial loan period, or on subsequent demand, or on ceasing to be a member of the Society. 6. Borrowed material is deemed to be in the custody of the borrower from the time of its receipt until either it has been returned to the Library, or it has been given personally to the Librarian or to someone authorized by the Librarian to receive it, or it has been given, correctly addressed and prepaid and adequately packed, into the care of the Post Office or of some other reputable delivery service, and a certificate of posting or equivalent receipt has been obtained for it. (continued) BCPS Library Catalogue, 20 Jan 11: General rules Page 197 General rules (continued) 7. Where it is not convenient for a borrower to collect or return material in person, the Society normally bears the cost of sending and the borrower the cost of return, but the Society reserves the right to restrict the expenditure thus incurred in any year on behalf of any particular borrower to one third of the membership subscription paid by him for the year. The Society normally despatches material by first class post. For return, second class post is normally sufficient unless another member wishes to consult the material, in which case the courtesy of first class post is appreciated. Registered post need not be used unless the Librarian specifically requests it. 8. It is the general policy of the Society that manuscript and other irreplaceable material may not be borrowed. An exception is likely to be granted only when the borrower is a member of long standing and the loan appears likely to be of direct and immediate benefit to the Society (for example, in assisting the borrower to prepare a lecture for delivery to the Society or an article for inclusion in a Society publication). 9. It is the general policy of the Society that Library material, even if potentially replaceable, may not be taken outside the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. An exception is likely to be granted only when the borrower is resident or travelling abroad in order to represent British interests and replacement of the material in the event of loss would be straightforward. 10. At present, the Society does not offer a photocopying service, but a borrower may copy from borrowed material (except where the Librarian has specifically directed otherwise) provided that he obtains any necessary permission from the copyright holder and takes care not to damage the material in the course of copying. 11. The Librarian may direct that material may not be borrowed, or may be borrowed only against a deposit to be refunded on its return in good condition. 12. The liability of a borrower in respect of any volume is limited to the amount of the deposit demanded in respect of it, or, if no deposit is demanded, to the amount of the ordinary annual membership subscription in force at the time of the loan. 13. There is no general right of introduction of guests into the Library, and a member wishing to introduce a guest must obtain the prior permission of the Librarian. A member is responsible for ensuring that his guests observe the rules of the Library, and for making good to the Society any loss or damage that his guests might inflict. A guest may read anything that is not explicitly restricted to members, but may not borrow. 14. Any person, whether member or guest, who makes use of Library material in the preparation of work for publication outside the Society, is asked to include "The Library of the British Chess Problem Society" among his acknowledgements. John Beasley, Librarian, August 2010. BCPS Library Catalogue, 20 Jan 11: Notes to prospective donors Page 198 Notes to prospective donors Our library owes a great deal to bequests and donations from past members and their families, and members whose natural heirs do not share their enthusiasm for chess problems or endgame studies are asked to consider bequeathing their collections. However, we cannot accept everything that is offered; space is limited, and the library is a working resource for members and not merely a repository. We therefore ask prospective donors and testators to bear the following points in mind. 1. In general, we can accept a conditional gift or bequest only if the condition can be satisfied once and for all at the time of receipt. We cannot undertake continuing obligations. We are not an incorporated body, and our officers cannot bind their successors. We ask testators to take particular note of this, and to make any bequest unconditional. The imposition of even a minor condition that cannot be satisfied may leave us no legal alternative but to decline a bequest altogether. 2. We usually hold duplicate library copies only of items which are regularly consulted for reference. In such a case, it is desirable that a copy of the material be kept permanently in the library, and the possession of a duplicate allows a copy to be loaned out. In any other case, a duplicate library copy is likely to be used only rarely, and we usually think it preferable to allow any second copy that may come into our possession to be bought or otherwise taken by a member who might use it regularly. 3. Although we cannot undertake to keep library material indefinitely, an item that has once been accepted is not displaced without very good reason. In particular, something received by bequest or donation is normally retained as long as it is in reasonable condition, and if another copy of the same item subsequently becomes available it is the later copy which is released for use elsewhere (except that unbound magazines will normally be displaced if a bound set becomes available). No account is taken of which of the donors may have been the more prominent member in his time. 4. In general, we do not hold library material without problem or endgame study interest. A few exceptions have been allowed to occur, usually in the case of general chess or puzzle material which has had a personal association with a particular member, but such material will always be a candidate for disposal should space become tight. Donors are also asked to note that general chess magazines take up a disproportionate amount of space and that such magazines may be filleted either on receipt or subsequently, the problem and endgame study material alone being retained and the rest being discarded. 5. It is our current practice to record the donor of a bound volume (but not of unbound magazines) both in the volume itself and in the library catalogue. It has not been possible to create a complete record because some information has been lost, but new receipts are being acknowledged, and any donor or testator who does not wish his generosity to be recorded in this way is asked to make the matter clear at the time of donation. All known previous ownership is recorded in the catalogue in any case in order to establish provenance, but the fact that an item was acquired by gift rather than by purchase can be concealed if the donor wishes. 6. We welcome the deposition of personal collections, scrapbooks, incomplete and draft works, and other unpublished material, but our general policy is that private correspondence should remain private. Letters and extracts which relate solely to chess matters are welcome, but donors and executors are asked to purge correspondence of all sensitive personal matter before offering it.
