$1199.95

Here we offer a scarce (perhaps singular) relic from the apogee of the 1970\'s worldwide chess craze: an original silk-screened poster promoting the January, 1974 Cold War chess match between USSR champion, Boris Spassky, and American grandmaster, Robert Byrne, held at the College of Engineers, Architects, and Surveyors, San Juan, Puerto Rico. The poster is signed in the plate, \"AM\". I purchased this poster 35 years ago from the front window of the renowned Village Chess Shop in Greenwich Village, NYC. Though it\'s got some minor tears, stains, pin holes, and creases (please see pics,) it is printed on very thick stock and looks absolutely wonderful. The design is remarkable and worthy of a centerpiece location! Measures 18.25 x 25.75-inches. Ships securely rolled in rice paper in mailing tube. Offered at a low buy-it-now until I\'ve met a September accounting commitment, this exceedingly rare relicwill make a bargain centerpiece to your collection or an exceedingly generous and thoughtful gift.** Please check out ourother items! -- other sales of classic antiquarian literature and special gifts!**
