| Nov-13-04 | | nikolaas: I remember him for the trick he used against Colle. Colle played white and was clearly better.
Steiner saw a combination which would allow him to mate in three, if his king was on h8 instead of g8. But if he moved his king, Colle would search for a reason. What to do? When Colle came to the game again, he saw his opponent had played Qxh4, an impossible move. He said it to Steiner, who instead played Be4. 'You made an incorrect move,' said Colle angry 'you have to move your king.' (that was the rule at that time)
Steiner was obliged to move his king...to h8.
Colle played a move and was mated in 3. Steiner played Qxh4 because he would be obliged to move his king. |

| Dec-27-10 | | acme: The game <nikolaas> refers to was, in fact, played by Endre Steiner: E Steiner vs Colle, 1926. The kibitzing in this game tells a very different story about how Colle lost. Coincidentally, Endre Steiner was Lajos Steiner's older brother. |
