"New" Old Analysis - But Not Quite



I recently stumbled over Part 10 of the "Index To The Chess Openings" on page 100 of the June 27, 1891 issue of the Chess Player's Chronicle

"New" old analysis of the Jerome Gambit, I thought!


It turns out that the CPC was simply reprinting the analysis of the 1884 American Supplement to Cook's Synopsis of Chess Openings, the Supplement "containing American Inventions In the Chess Openings Together With Fresh Analysis in the Openings Since 1882; also a list of Chess Clubs in the United States and Canada",

edited by J.W. Miller. The author of the analysis was S. A. Charles of Cincinnati, Ohio, USA.
