With the guest book of the SC Braunschweig Gliesmarode
a unique document is now available in digital form.
Guestbook
of the BSC 1869.

The guestbook
is of extraordinary value
as it contains besides an autograph sheet of the Anderssen celebration 1877
additional 35 autographs of prominent chess greats, collected on single
cards in the year 1881, among others von der Lasa, van der Linde, Steinitz,
Zukertort, Mason etc. which are partly quite artistic dedications. The spidery
signature alone of the hands and feet crippled "millionaire" Arnold
Schottländer from Wrocław is hardly to estimate in its value.

Afterwards
the guestbook was used to document later events or visits, so there are
signatures of Emanuel Lasker, Efim Bogoljubow, Capablanca (strangely provided
by another club in 1963), Alekhine, Albert Becker etc.
Moreover the participants of Hamburg 1960, Leipzig 1960, Palma de Mallorca
1970, Dortmund 1973 and Bad Lauterberg 1977 are eternalized.
All world champions between 1886 and 1975 are there as well, even Max Euwe
and Robert J. Fischer several times. Also Robert Hübner and the complete
German chess elite after WW II including Fritz Sämisch and Ludwig Rellstab
is not missing. Altogether more than 100 greats (from medium-sized to giants)
of the chess world from 1877 to 1984.
