On Friday morning, 20th of May the presentations were given at the Mehrzwecksaal
of the Premstallerhof where the chess club ARCI Bozen (www.arciscacchi.it)
is based and where the 6th international Open tournament was planned for
the afternoon. For this day also Tamás Erdélyi and Michael
Ehn had arrived from Budapest and Vienna respectively. The following lectures
were held in the morning:
• Antonio Rosino: The golden age of chess in Venice:
1929-1953
• Michael Negele: My finds on Antonius van der
Linde
• Toni Preziuso: "Odysseus" meets Alekhine.
The encounter between a (still)
unknown journalist and Alekhine at Lisbon 1946. Presentation
and open
questions about a find from the Schweizerische Allgemeine
Volkszeitung
03/06/1950.

After the lectures our group visited the library of the chess club ARCI-Bozen
which is based in the building - in all likelihood it is the biggest collection
of chess books of a club from the Brenner to Verona. The book list is
online at www.arciscacchi.it/....
In 2009 a commemorative publication appeared about the still very young
chess club.
