Schachelite im Kampf Zürich 1953

Everybody knows the famous book Zürich 1953 by David Bronstein. However, there is also the book Schachelite im Kampf, commented by Max Euwe, about the same tournament.

I found this book today in a bookstore in Zürich. It is the original one, published 1954, which is rather rare, contrary to the edition published by Olms. Luckily the seller was not specialised in chess books. He told me that he was using the chess books to exchange for other books with a known Swiss chess player.

I had already a copy of Schachelite im Kampf, but this one has a dust jacket, which makes it obviously more collectible.

It is interesting to follow a game through the comments by both Bronstein and Euwe to see which positions they considered worth to comment, or how much they agree about the evaluations. This makes the lecture more interesting.

Miguel Najdorf also posted his own take on the classic tournament, titled "Zurich 1953: 15 Contenders for the World Chess Championship." 

 

Unfortunately, both Najdorf's and Euwe's books are hard to find nowadays.

Was the Euwe book ever translated into English?

Najdorf’s is at least available in kindle format at a reasonable price. I had no idea the paperback reprint was sold out and so expensive already.

I have two copies of the German edition by Euwe, so I can sold one of them for a good price.  The problem is that I can’t find any exemplar  in internet, so I don’t know the current price for this edition. Do you have any idea?

I can't find any English copy. Additionally, recent sales of this Schachelite im Kampf Zürich 1953
 are few and far between. I did find one auction that sold the book at a price of 8 euros in 2018, but that was about it.

 

It's a tragedy that all of this timeless analysis and insight is being lost. Unless someone takes the time to republish/digitize/translate Schachelite im Kampf Zürich 1953, this book may be lost to all but a select few German speakers.
