Highlights include a copy of the Tarsia edition of Ruy Lopez, Venice 1584 (lot 5). Probably my own favourites are the autograph items from Lasker (lot 54A), Nimzowitsch (lot 116A), Rinck (lot 11) and Grimshaw (lot 16). Or perhaps a special board, such as the one on which that Polgar-Kasparov game was played in Linares (lot 122) or maybe a set used by Kasparov and Short in their 1993 match (lot 129). Tournament posters, especially those signed by the players, are both decorative and highly-prized (lot 115).
