George Hatfeild Dingley Gossip (December 6, 1841 – May 11, 1907) was a minor American-English chess master and writer. He competed in chess tournaments between 1870 and 1895, playing against most of the world's leading players, but with only modest success. The writer G. H. Diggle calls him "the King of Wooden Spoonists" because he usually finished last in strong tournaments. Chess writers have often mocked Gossip's play, calling him a "grandpatzer" and the like. However, Kenneth Whyld, one of his previous critics, suggests that history may have judged his strength unfairly.

  • George Hatfeild Dingley Gossip (December 6, 1841 – May 11, 1907) was a minor American-English chess master and writer. He competed in chess tournaments between 1870 and 1895, playing against most of the world's leading players, but with only modest success. The writer G. H. Diggle calls him "the King of Wooden Spoonists" because he usually finished last in strong tournaments. Gossip was also a noted writer. His treatise The Chess-Player's Manual—A Complete Guide to Chess, a 900-page tome published in 1874 after several years of work, was harshly received by the critics, largely because he had included a number of informal skittles games that he had (atypically) won against stronger players. As a result, Gossip developed a lifelong enmity toward chess critics, whom he often attacked ferociously in his books. However, his 1879 book Theory of the Chess Openings was well received. Wilhelm Steinitz, the first World Chess Champion, wrote that the 1888 edition of The Chess-Player's Manual was one of the best available books on the game. Thanks in part to a 122-page appendix by S. Lipschütz, it became one of the standard opening works of the time. Gossip made his living primarily as a journalist, author, and translator. He wrote for publications in England, France, Australia, and the United States. At various times he resided in each of those countries, as well as in Germany and Canada. In 1898 and 1899, two publishers issued Gossip's sole book about a subject other than chess, The Jew of Chamant. Published under the pseudonym "Ivan Trepoff", it was virulently antisemitic. Chess writers have often mocked Gossip's play, calling him a "grandpatzer" and the like. However, Kenneth Whyld, one of his previous critics, suggests that history may have judged his strength unfairly. (en)

  • George Hatfeild Dingley Gossip (Nova Iorque, 6 de dezembro de 1841 - , 11 de maio de 1907) foi um mestre de xadrez e escritor anglo-americano. Ele competiu em torneios de xadrez entre 1870 e 1895, jogando contra a maioria dos principais jogadores do mundo, mas com sucesso apenas modesto. O escritor o chamou de o "King of Wooden Spoonists", porque ele frequentemente terminava em último em torneios fortes. Gossip também foi um escritor notável. Seu tratado de xadrez "Chess-Player's Manual—A Complete Guide to Chess" de 900 páginas, publicado em 1874 após vários anos de trabalho, foi duramente recebido pela crítica, principalmente porque ele tinha incluído uma série de jogos informais. Como resultado, Gossip desenvolveu ao longo da vida uma inimizade para com os críticos de xadrez, a quem ele frequentemente atacava ferozmente em seus livros. No entanto, seu livro de 1879 Teoria das Aberturas de Xadrez foi bem recebido. Wilhelm Steinitz, o primeiro Campeão Mundial de Xadrez, escreveu que a edição de 1888 do The Chess-Player's Manual foi um dos melhores livros disponíveis sobre o jogo. (pt)
