| Mar-09-06 | | AlexanderMorphy: wow some of his annonatins are great, i've got a couple of his books...his games also show that he was quite strong player! |
 |
Oct-07-06
 | | Phony Benoni: Too bad he didn't live to play Olalla Polo-Casares |
|
Oct-07-06
 | | technical draw: He probably didn't live to play G Marco vs W Pollock, 1985 either. |
|
Oct-07-06
 | | Benzol: <technical draw> Have you submitted a correction report on the date which obviously should be 1895? |
|
Oct-08-06
| | technical draw: <Benzol> I don't know how to submit a correction report. But I'm going to find out and submit one for this player. |
|

| | Phony Benoni: <technical draw> At the bottom of every player or game page, below the "Leave a comment" box, there is a line beginning "Spot an error?" Click the link given, and you'll go to the correction submission form for that player or game. In this case, you should make the submission from the game page. And good luck. I've been submitting corrections for some time and have yet to find one that was made. |

Oct-08-06
| | technical draw: <Phony Benoni> Thanks. I got it done. I submitted it as a wrong date, but could be wrong player. |
|
| Nov-29-06 | | CharlieLuciano: There is no error on his years covered date (1890-1985), I think he continoued playing chess while he was dead, some say that he sent his moves through telegram, cause they think that he was buried alive, some sources say that he didnt sent his moves through telegram but via bluetooth, cause when he was buried he had a cell phone on his pocket, and he is considered to be the original inventor of bluetooth cell phone ! But his battery lasted very long ( a world record at the time) and he continoud sending his moves... again ...again ....and again, and one day his
cell phone started doing the BEepBEepBEep meanig that his battery is dying ... and that was a tragedy ... and when they tried to catch his moves again in 1985 (via bluetooth) their cell phone added:NO Phone Detected... meaning that he was gone forever... |

| Feb-17-07 | | Prokofiev fan: There's a book called "Vienna Gambit Tournament"? |

 | | Peligroso Patzer: The game featured in today's puzzle, Von Popiel vs G Marco, 1902, in which Marco famously resigned prematurely, is not currently included in this player's "Notable Games" list. (Perhaps CG.com's ground rules do not permit games to appear in this listing for the player who lost.) By this comment, I am providing a convenient link to that game for those who may want to look it up. |

 | | Karpova: <Peligriosos Patzer>
Yes, no losses are allowed to be included in the Notable Games list (and this makes sense since it's a purely automatically compiled list). |

 | | GrahamClayton: As well as his annotations, Marco was renowned for his descriptions of players in tournaments, eg from Karlsbad 1907: "Wolf bears an expression of serene confidence, but when one looks more closely he seems to manifest a certain trepidation" Source: Amatzia Avni "Karlsbad 1907 - one of the very best books I have ever read", "CHESS" February 2008 |

| | Karpova: From Jeremy P. Spinrad's "Chess Journalism: Old and New", May 2007: http://www.chesscafe.com/text/spinr... Page 3: <One of my first language puzzles dealt with standard English, however. The book of the Hastings 1895 tournament describes Georg Marco with the phrase "His general appearance is very German, but with little of the bandbox about him." Wiser readers than myself on the newsgroup rec.games.chess.misc informed me that this implied that Marco's clothes might be a bit less spiffy than those of other German players.> |

| Nov-29-11 | | Penguincw: This guy is not that bad! He beat Frank James Marshall. |
|
| Nov-29-11 | | Petrosianic: Marco was a decent player, but made his mark as an analyst. |
|
| Apr-23-12 | | Llawdogg: I think he was quite a bit better than a decent player, he was one of the old masters. |

| | Karpova: Dr. Siegbert Tarrasch: <Erkennt er aber meine Präpotenz an, nun, so mag er auch den Brustton der Präpotenz hinnehmen, wie ich ja auch den Fistelton der Impotenz mir gefallen lassen muß.> This <Tarraschiade> ('Berliner Localanzeiger', 1906.03.26) was a reaction on Georg Marco's critique on Dr. Tarrasch's critique ('Berliner Localanzeiger', 1904.05.21) which was published under the heading <Reminiszenzen an Cambridge Springs> (see page 56 of the 1906 'Wiener Schachzeitung'). Dr. Tarrasch goes on and says that while he had to save lives, he got the telegram that he had to write an article on the Cambridge Springs Tournament and did not even have a single day to do so. In this article he critised Marco's play: <Ja, wenn mir die Redaktion nur drei bis vier Tage, wenn sie mir nur einen einzigen Tag Zeit gelassen hätte, dann hätte ich Hals über Kopf sämtliche Partien des Turniers durchstudiert mit heißem Bemühen, und dann, ja dann - dann wäre meine Kritik über Herrn Marco noch viel vernichtender ausgefallen!> It should be noted that Dr. Tarrasch's article is not as one-sided as it may seem and Marco treats him pretty roughly also. Dr. Tarrasch praisesothers also. Dr. Tarrasch: <Freilich bilden Lasker und ich eine besondere Klasse, in die seit seinen letzten Erfolgen auch Maroczy vorgerückt ist;> From pages 65 to 78 of the 1906 'Wiener Schachzeitung' It should be noted that Dr. Tarrasch's article is not as one-sided as it may seem and Marco treats him pretty roughly also. Dr. Tarrasch praisesothers also. |
