| blacksburg: <For example, Capablanca wrote in the "Capablanca-Magazine"> i wish ivanchuk had a magazine, i bet it would be a lot of fun :( |

 |
| suenteus po 147: <blacksburg> It's funny you mention that, because I was thinking only yesterday that Ivanchuk should have his own chess talk show after the exchange he and Short had at Corus about Kasparov's retirement. They could title the show "Welcome to Planet Ivanchuk" and everything. |

| Jim Bartle: Ivanchuk reminds me of "The Dude" frrom "The Big Lebowski," except the sport is chess rather than bowling. |

| chancho: -<This ending has the merit of having been played against one of the finest players in the world.>- Capablanca on the ending he played against Richard Teichmann: Capablanca vs Teichmann, 1913 |

|
| suenteus po 147: <Jim Bartle> I would agree with your comparison, except that "The Dude" never bowls. Ivanchuk on the other hand plays more chess than anyone else. |
|
| Feb-19-09 |
| Jim Bartle: He never bowls? He just argues with Walter and tells Donny shut the---- up? Wonder if Ivanchuk has a Persian rug which holds the room together. |

|
| suenteus po 147: <Jim Bartle> That's one of the great tricks of the movie, you see every other bowler bowl at some point in the movie, but "The Dude" never once puts a ball down the lane. I'm not even sure he even holds on in the whole movie. However, he does up the ape the bowling moves with Julianne Moore in the dream sequence. |

| chancho: The last guy seated (next to Jacques Mieses) to the right is Richard Teichmann before the eye patch and many pounds of weight gain: http://www.worldchesslinks.org/hist... |
|
| Feb-19-09 |
| Jim Bartle: Wow, you learn something every day. He did bowl "himself" in his dream, didn't he? You want a toe, suenteus? I can get you a toe. |
|

|
| suenteus po 147: <Jim Bartle> Can you even get one with nail polish? |
|

| Jim Bartle: By 3 o'clock this afternoon. |

| keypusher: <chancho>
Hard to believe! It seems like the picture could be either for Hastings 1895 or Nuremburg 1896, since they had similar lineups, but since there are only 18 people pictured I am guessing Nuremberg. Probably the worst tournament of Teichmann's life. Who is the hulk next to Blackburne? Marco?
Lasker and Tarrasch look like they are wearing tinted glasses for some reason. |
|

|
| chancho: <keypusher> The pic is from Hastings 1895. And yes, that's Marco next to Blackburne. |
|

|
| keypusher: thanks, <Chancho>. here's who I know, more or less: Back row: Albin, Schlechter, ?, Marco, Blackburne, __, Schiffers?, ___, Burn, ___(Bird?) Front row: ___ (Vergani?), Steinitz, Chigorin, Lasker, Pillsbury, Tarrasch, Mieses, Teichmann (though obviously never would have guessed him before you posted his name). I looked on <Calli>'s picasa site, but couldn't find tournament pictures. |
|
Feb-19-09
|
| chancho: <Keypusher> The guy standing to Blackburne's left is Geza Maroczy who played in the minor tournament. |
|

 |
| Benzol: There seems to be some confusion regarding the players in the photo.
It was indeed from Hastings 1895.
Back row (standing) left to right : Albin, Schlechter, Janowski, Marco, Blackburne, Maroczy, Schiffers, Gunsberg, Burn and Tinsley. Front row (seated) left to right :
Vergani, Steinitz, Chigorin, Lasker, Pillsbury, Tarrasch, Mieses and Teichmann. |
|

 |
| whiteshark: The guy standing to Burns's right is Isidor Gunsberg |
|
Feb-19-09
|
| chancho: Thanks <Benzol>. |
|
Feb-19-09
|
| Benzol: <chancho> You're right about Maroczy. Perhaps I should also have mentioned those players from the tournament who for some reason are not in the photo. They were : von Bardeleben, Walbrodt, Bird, Mason and Pollock. |
|
Feb-19-09
|
| whiteshark: Back row: David Janowski is standing between <Schlechter> and <Marco>. |
|
Feb-19-09
|
| chancho: There's this game from the minor tournament that Maroczy won: Owen vs Maroczy, 1895 |
|
Feb-19-09
|
| whiteshark: Dooh, I only switched between the picture and keypusher's whitespaces, w/o noticing that Benzol's already posted the complete list. |
|
Feb-19-09
|
| chancho: Still appreciate the effort <whiteshark> |
|
Feb-20-09
|
| keypusher: <Benzol> <whiteshark> Thanks to you too! I thought that looked like Maroczy but since he didn't play in the main tourney I didn't think he would be in the picture. I guess the photo was taken after the tournament was over? Janowski certainly upgraded his appearance and bearing in subsequent years. It's nice to have a face to put with Tinsley, who I am fond of. Gunsberg was tiny! |

| Marcelo Brasileiro: Would like anyone to have the whole game that he played against Capablanca (Berlin 1913) commented by Capa? The interested ones please send to me an e-mail (mbrchess@yahoo.co.uk) with the subject "Capablanca-Teichmann, Berlin 1913)": I have these comments with the whole game in Idel Becker's "Manual de Xadrez" (Chess Manual). |
