History of Chess - Part III

Part 3 of 4 in an excellent History of Chess by Jason Rintz.

The 19th and early 20th centuries saw relatively rapid change in the game of chess. It was still a game for an educated minority, but there was a higher European population than ever before, and more people were educated that at any previous time in history. Additionally, chess play moved from the club scene to broader tournaments, resulting in professionalization and famous players. Coinciding with and contributing to the rise of tournament play was the proliferation of chess media, as well as a need for standardization of rules. By the time war broke out in 1914, chess had become an international game much resembling today’s sport.
