"We are going to check out the bag of tricks of George H. Derrickson. This chess prodigy was a resident of Philadelphia. Derrickson briefly came to prominence in the chess world shortly after the Paul Morphy era." 

(from my new and first chess book, Learning Chess Middle-Game Attacking with the Classic Masters: Volume 1)

Here are videos which I made of all of the Derrickson games that I could find. I made the music, too, on the now apparently defunct JamStudio. I provide analysis, annotations, and commentary on each of these games in my book.
