The Guestbook of the Chess Club Braunschweig Gliesmarode von 1869

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

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.
