FISCHER ROBERT: (1943-2008) American-born Icelandic World Chess Champion. An excellent, rare A.L.S., Bobby, two pages, 4to, Fifth Avenue, New York, 8th September 1965, to his mother Regina, on the printed stationery of the Fifth Avenue hotel. Fischer informs his mother that he is currently playing in the Capablanca Memorial Tournament by cable and remarks `My score is 7-2 tied for first with [Borislav] Ivkov and [Vasily] Smyslov, but there`s still a long way to go because the tournament is 21 rounds. The tournament will end around Sept. 25 or Sept. 26th I think.` He further states that he hopes his mother is taking care of herself and feeling good and asks her to write to him in care of the hotel while the tournament progresses. In concluding he asks for some magazines to which she has subscribed on his behalf to be sent to his lawyer, `I appreciate all the trouble you`ve gone to for me with these magazines and I`ve gotten quite a bit of good use out of them.` Accompanied by the original envelope hand addressed by Fischer and signed (`Robert Fischer`) by him in the return address panel. Together with an original unsigned Christmas Greetings card sent by Fischer and featuring a photograph of him to the inside with a facsimile signature. A letter of good content. VG, 2 Fischer had planned to personally attend and play in the Capablanca Memorial Tournament which took place in Havana in 1965, however the US State Department refused to endorse his passport as being valid for travel to Cuba. Fischer therefore proposed a unique arrangement to which the tournament officials agreed: he would play his moves from a room at the Marshall Chess Club which were then transmitted by teletype to Cuba. The tournament was something of an ordeal for Fischer, who had to endure playing sessions of between eight and twelve hours. Despite this he tied for second-fourth places with a score of 15- 21, behind former World Champion Vasily Smyslov, whom he defeated in their individual game.

A very rare and early programme for the match between the Everton `A` Team & Blackpool South Shore Team on 8th February 1890, in the form of a 4-page match card This programme must surely rank amongst the group of earliest surviving Everton programmes and dates to three seasons before Everton began playing at their newly built Goodison Park ground. It must also be one of the earliest surviving programmes involving Blackpool FC, whose history began in 1887. At this time there were two clubs Blackpool St. Johns and South Shore. At a meeting at the Stanley Arms Hotel on 26th July 1887a breakaway group then formed Blackpool FC. The two teams played against one another in the Lancashire Combination and although more successful than South Shore on the pitch they did not enjoy the same level of support. After a difficult period in League Two between 1896-97 and 1898-99, when they were not re-elected. In 1899 it was decided that the two teams should amalgamate. The name Blackpool FC was kept, but they moved into South Shore`s ground, which was Bloomfield Road. The newly combined club re-entered the Football League in 1900-01. In their own right South Shore`s greatest moment came in season 1885-86 when they pulled of the giant-killing feat of beating Football League founding member Notts County 2-1 in the 5th Round of the F.A. Cup. The cup run ended in the quarter-final with a 2-1 defeat to Swifts.
