Nov-05-08		I Offer You A Resign: Greatly played endgame by Marshall!

Oct-27-10		Phony Benoni: Well, well, well. The things you can learn browsing through old newspapers. This link: http://fultonhistory.com/Newspaper%... will take you to a scan of Hermann Helms' chess column in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle of November 21, 1918, where a Russian diplomat mentioned a game he had played back in 1901 (!): Sittenfeld - Soldatenkov Paris, 1901 <1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.0-0 Be7 6.Re1 b5 7.Bb3 0-0 8.c3 d5 9.exd5 Nxd5 10.d4 exd4 11.cxd4 Bb4 12.Bd2 Bg4 13.Nc3 Nf6 14.Be3 Bxf3 15.gxf3 Qd7 16.d5 Ne7 17.Bg5 Qh3 18.Bxf6> click for larger view Now Marshall recaptured, of course. But Soldatenov claimed to have played: <18...Bd6 19.f4 Bxf4 20.f3 Qxh2+ 21.Kf1 Nf5 22.Ne4 gxf6 23.Qd3 Kh8 24.Qc3 Rg8 25.Qxf6+ Rg7 26.Reb1 Kg8 27.Nf2 Re8> 0-1 The text is garbled, but I think I've selected the intended line. This might be really something if authentic. And a Russian diplomat wouldn't make up a game, would he?

Oct-27-10		BobCrisp: Helms's piece could well be the first publication of the alleged game. Was this a syndicated column? See: http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/...

Oct-27-10		Phony Benoni: <BobCrisp> Thanks for the link to the Winter article. I don't know Helms' column needed to be syndicated, since he also edited the tournament book and the American Chess Bulletin.

Oct-27-10		BobCrisp: Re. syndication, I was wondering whether or not Helms wrote an exclusive column for the <Brooklyn Daily Eagle>.
