| Jan-06-14 | | Karpova: Dr. Nikolaus Brody from Kolozsvar published an article on the <W. Paulsen> variation of the Sicilian Defense (3...a6 followed by ...Qc7), as he saw Black facing problems in the Ruy Lopez and the QGD. The <W. Paulsen> variation had been a rare sight for decennia and wasn't overly analysed yet. Dr. Brody tested the Sicilian in the International Correspondence tournament of the Budapest 'Alkotmany' (1912-1914, 20 participants) and the Austro-Hungarian Championship 1913 in Budapest - see Rudolf Spielmann - in 4 games each, with a score of +4 -0 =4. He gives three games which have been submitted. The 12 opening moves from 7 (Correspondence) tournament games he played during the last two years: White: V. Jerabek

 | | FSR: I first heard of Brody today, but he was a strong player. Chessmetrics ranks him the No. 24 player in the world at various times between 1900 and 1914. http://www.chessmetrics.com/cm/CM2/... His best performance was at the 2nd Kolisch Memorial, Vienna (1899/00). Geza Maroczy ran amok, scoring an undefeated 9-2, but Brody tied with Carl Schlechter for second, 1.5 points behind. Impressive company indeed. Schlechter tied with Lasker in their 1910 world championship match; Maroczy and Lasker agreed to terms for a championship match in 1906, but Maroczy for some reason didn't follow through. Today, Maroczy is most remembered for "his" bind. Though he praised the white setup with pawns on e4 and c4, there are no known games where he played it. He did win as Black against it in Swiderski vs Maroczy, 1904. His play declined markedly after his death, but I guess that's to be expected. Maroczy / Rollans vs Korchnoi, 1985. Back to Brody. He was born in Nagykároly, Hungary, then part of Austria-Hungary. Austria-Hungary was one of the losers of World War I, and after the war his town became Carei, Romania. Brody's only games in the database after 1913 are from the 1928 and 1935 Olympiads, where he represented Romania. In his last game in the database, at age 58, he beat Sir George Thomas. G Thomas vs M Brody, 1935. |
