###Did you try only <google.com>? I tried <google.ru> and got one
additional link: <http://kak.znate.ru/docs/index-42507.html>.

###My experience, from the early 1990s, was that NYPL does lend (at
least to then members of the now defunct Research Library Group).
Maybe what I got from NYPL was merely photocopies of article-lenth
works. (It's been too long!) The bigger barrier to getting _any_
library to lend this work is that it doesn't circulate even for its
own users, because it's a reference work.

###One last tip: I recall someone (at Widener, I think) telling me
that Cleveland Public Library has a very good chess collection. The
<kak.znate.ru> link above confirms that there's a link between this
dictionary you want and other works on chess. You might try there. In
addition, the compiler apparently lives in Providence, Rhode Island.
As such, there may be a copy of the work at the local public library
or even Brown University.

Good luck! --Loren
