 |
| Aug-16-11 | | I play the Fred: <Inquiry>: The Tartakower quote you cited may exist in three ways because of translation issues. I don't know whether Tartakower ever said it in English. The best person to ask - if only because he will dig around for years if necessary, should he himself not know the answer - is Edward Winter. Below is the link to his site: http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/... |

| Aug-17-11 | | Inquiry: Thank you:) |
|
| Aug-19-11 | | Karpova: Edward Winter's C.N. 7228 shows that the saying with the next to the last mistake predates Tartakower (e. g. in "Deutsche Schachzeitung" from 1890, when Tartakower was 3 years old). Link: http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/... |

 | | whiteshark: He once lost five games in a row and was asked why. He replied, " I had a toothache during the first game. In the second game, I had a headache. In the third game, it was an attack of rheumatism. In the fourth game, I wasn't feeling well. And in the fifth game? Well, must one have to win every game!? "

| Jan-20-12 | | rapidcitychess: I think he instead of opening, he meant chess.

 | | TheFocus: Today, at <Edward Winter>'s Chess Notes, the following "lost" game was presented. It will be published in the upcoming <In Memoriam> the 2-volume collection by David DeLucia. I believe the price is $1,000, with the money going to charity. Capablanca – Tartakower

 | | wordfunph: from Rudolf Teschner's Learn Chess in 40 Hours..
<When Efim Bogoljubow (a german national of Russian origin, a challenger to the world champion Alexander Alekhine) was playing against Savielly Tartakower (born in Rostov-on-Don, a prominent Polish grandmaster and an intelligent aphorist), he found himself under fierce attack and announced mate in four moves for his opponent. Tartakower responded: 'I will not tolerate any disturbance!'> :-) |
|
| Mar-27-12 | | sneaky pete: What Tartakower is supposed to have said on that occasion: "Bitte, bleiben Sie seriös", forcing Bogoljubow to execute the mate. |

< "The blunders are all there on the board, waiting to be made." > --- Tartakower |
|
| Jul-29-12 | | Karpova: Von welchem bekannten Schachspieler haben Sie das meiste gelernt? Dr. Savielly Tartakower: <Von Maroczy, der kurz und prägnant ist.> From page 168 of the 1929 '(Neue) Wiener Schachzeitung' |
|
| Aug-26-12 | | Karpova: On January 28, 1914, Dr. Tartakower had a grave accident: <Am 28. Januar ist Dr. Tartakower von einem schweren Unfall betroffen worden. Die Morgenblätter vom 29. Januar brachten darüber folgende Notiz:"Dr. Tartakower wollte gestern um 6 Uhr abends in der Feldapotheke auf dem Stephansplatz einen Einkauf besorgen. Er ging jedoch nicht beim Haupteingang vom Stephansplatz in die Aptheke, sondern wollte durch die Tür von der Brandstätte aus eintreten. Er kam an eine Tür, die zum Lastenaufzug der Apotheke führt, nach außen mit einem Knopf verschloseen ist und für gewöhnlich auch versperrt zu sein pflegt. Gestern um 3 Uhr nachmittags hat nun ein Arbeiter einer in diesem Haus befindlichen Speditionsfirma von dem Aufzug mehrere Kolli genommen. Wahrscheinlich hat er vergessen, nach der Arbeit die Tür zu schließen. Dr. Tartakower öffnete die Tür und stürzte in den ungefähr acht Meter tiefen Aufzugsschacht. Er erlitt schwere Verletzungen: Bruch der Schädelbasis, Quetschung des Auges und des Nasenbeins. Bewußtlos wurde er ins Garnisonsspital Nr. 2 gebracht." Diese Nachricht hat inzwischen auch in der Schachpresse Verbreitung gefunden. Glücklicherweise hat aber der böse Sturz für Dr. Tartakower keine üblen Folgen gehabt. Schon nach acht Tagen war er völlig wiederhergestellt.> From page 274 of the 1914 'Wiener Schachzeitung'
(Dr. Tartakower wanted to buy something at a chemist's shop but did not enter through the main entrance but a side door instead - this was the door to the freight elevator which had accidently been left open. So Dr. Tartakower fell down the lift shaft, about 8 metres deep. He suffered a basal skull fracture and contusion of the eye and nasal bone. He was unconscious while they brought him to hospital. It took him 8 days to recover.) |
|
| Aug-26-12 | | Cibator: Not the only time he suffered a head injury, according to his friend Harry Golombek. On another occasion he was in a car accident. The driver broke an arm and some ribs, but Tartakower, in a letter to HG, said "I was injured in a less vital part of the human frame, to wit, the head, and, as you know, we chess masters don't have to use that much". |
