| May-24-16 | | luftforlife: <Tab>: Thanks very much for posting what you have. Thanks too if you had to transcribe from descriptive notation, or from non-standard algebraic. I've found handwriting difficult to decipher (and typesetting too, for that matter). Also, if this was played over-the-'board, perhaps the moves were incorrectly notated on the scoresheet. I don't doubt your judgment; certainly your analysis is correct. Reconstruction may not be possible. It was an intriguing lead; if the game can be reconstructed, that's great, but if not, no worries. Thanks again. |

| May-24-16 | | luftforlife: "A match on 50 boards between Middlesex and Essex was played on February 22nd at the Mecca Café, Ludgate Hill, London, and won by Middlesex by 34½ points to 15½. Essex lost 4 points owing to absentee players. The following game, the finish of which is very pretty, was contested at Board 11. The winner is quite young, and has recently joined the West London Club." The British Chess Magazine, April 1913, 151.

| May-24-16 | | luftforlife: <Tab>: It is hard to characterize exactly the Schlaraffia Athenae Gottingenses. I have read and read, yet the organization (through its online scribe) is willfully cryptic in describing itself. Its explanation of what it's not is reassuring, but purposefully fails to explain just what it is. Near as I can figure, it's a fraternal drinking club, in which the male members consume alcoholic beverages and bond in intellectual communion and participate in wholesome rituals that celebrate antiquity. There's a hierarchy, and there are nicknames, many drawn from Greek mythic and historical sources, and it all seems to be done in good fun. It seems not at all decadent or sinister in its secrecy -- just lovably goofy, really: a way to blow off some steam and spend some quality time with the guys (maybe while wearing togas). This is just a supposition based on supportable inference, but perhaps Arthur Privonitz was a convivial man, and enjoyed socializing with his confreres in the SAG, and, not long before his death in 1953, he played a game of chess with one of them, Konrad Peter. Certainly Palamedes's blunders bear no resemblance to A.H. Privonitz's pellucid, penetrating play from his previous years, and so perhaps his illness and the passage of time had taken their toll on his Caïssaic sensibilities (or perhaps he played the game after imbibing); and so it seems this friendly yet uncharacteristically plebeian encounter from his own endgame days is best left off the annals of his earlier, nobler, and laudable achievements, which were more reflective of his true chess talents and his genuine (if admittedly not Olympian) aptitude for the sport at which he excelled. |

| | Tabanus: <luft> I read it was re-founded in 1947, that most of the members are 50+, and that it's a society for men only, for "art, friendship and humor". I also read that before the war, in the 1930-ies, a man was excluded from the NSDAP because of his SAG membership. |
|
| May-24-16 | | luftforlife: <Tab>: Your description of post-WWII SAG is illuminating, and concords with and amplifies my own limited understanding. I know it was all-male, and devoted to art, friendship, and humor, but the other details are new to me. Good to read that in the thirties, SAG membership meant exclusion from the NSDAP; if the two organizations were immiscible in mission and in deed, perhaps the reverse was true, too. |
|
| May-24-16 | | luftforlife: <hemy>: Thanks for the games! Great sources! Happy to learn more about the Schachmeisterturnier des Gaues Hamburg; courtesy of <sachistu>, we have tournament-victor Herbert Heinicke's win with the Black pieces over A.H. Privonitz (from your generous submissions, we see he gave Privonitz trouble on more than one occasion), and now we have A.H. Privonitz's win over Schneider, which ends with a delicious relative pin and simultaneous neutralization of Black's passed a-pawn. Clearly, Privonitz maintained his over-the-'board capabilities into the 1930s. |

| | Tabanus: Mail from Dr. Privonitz yesterday:
"Thank you for all this information. It is amazing to learn so much about him." I think she knows little about chess - but told her that more games will be added. |
|
| May-25-16 | | hemy: <Dr. Privonitz>I sent by email a picture of A.H.Privonitz playing with Ewald Kapfer to <luftforlife>. I have also a caricature of him published in "Hamburger Nachrichten" and will send it as well. I guess it can be transferred to you. In January 1927 was held Hamburg district (Free Association of the chess clubs of Great Hamburg) 1927 championship hosted by "Schachklub 1871". 1. Ewald Kapfer (Schachklub 1871)

| | Tabanus: <hemy> Dr. Privonitz says thanks for the pictures. She believes that Arthur was a freemason who later joined Schlarrafia Athenae Göttingenses. From her understanding it is an alternative to freemasonry, less formal and secretive and more social. |
|
| May-26-16 | | luftforlife: <Tab>: Thanks for the information from Dr. Privonitz. The explanations on the website for Schlaraffia Athenae Gottingenses (not sure why the umlaut is missing there) jibe precisely with Dr. Privonitz's understanding. |

The comment after last move 14. Bxc6 -- "White resigned, after Bd7xc6 follows checkmate or loss of Queen". Decisive move 15. Nc3-d5!! (after 14. Bd7xc6) is missing in comment. |
