<Eliskases> steigt in den Dreißigerjahren raketengleich zur Weltklasse empor. Er ist unbestritten stärkster Österreicher, besiegt seinen Konkurrenten Spielmann in drei Wettkämpfen um die Vorkämpferschaft in Österreich (1932 inoffiziell in Linz, 1936 und 37 offiziell auf dem Semmering). Unter seinen internationalen Erfolgen ragt sein Sieg in Noordwijk 1938 vor Keres und Euwe besonders hervor. Im selben Jahr wird Österreich an Deutschland angeschlossen, Eliskases gewinnt 1938 und 1939 die Großdeutsche Meisterschaft (1939 vor Lokvenc). 1939 schlägt er auch Bogoljubow, der als stärkster Spieler Deutschlands gilt, mit 11 ½ : 8 ½. Er wird mit der deutschen Olympiamann-schaft auf Brett eins 1939 nach Buenos Aires entsandt. Dort überrascht ihn der Ausbruch des Kriegs in Europa, er verbleibt in Südamerika. 1937 unterstützt er als Sekundant Aljechin, der den Weltmeisterschaftskampf gegen Euwe gewinnt. Aljechin bezeichnet Eliskases als seinen möglichen, würdigen Nachfolger als Weltmeister. Ein Wettkampf kommt jedoch nicht zustande. Eliskases kehrt nicht mehr nach Europa zurück und kann an seine größten Erfolge nie mehr ganz anknüpfen. 1952 wird er noch im Stockholmer Interzonenturnier als argentinischer Staatsbürger Zehnter und verfehlt den Aufstieg ins Kandidatenturnier zur Weltmeisterschaft um zwei Plätze. Der ÖSB pflegt bis zu seinem Lebensende Kontakt mit ihm. Er stirbt 1997 in Argentinien. (Österreichische Schachbund, ÖSB) |

in German:
"Ein Rückblick auf GM Erich Eliskases"
(Review with pics, A Redolfi vs Eliskases, 1957 annotated) http://schach-und-kultur.com/?p=922
. . .
Erich Eliskases auf die Frage “Was ist das Schach?” gegenüber einem Jounalisten: “Wenn es Aljechin spielt, dann ist es Kunst;
wenn es Capablanca spielt, ist es Wissenschaft;
wenn es Lasker spielt, ist es Philosophie und
wenn es ein Amateur spielt, ist es ein Spiel.”
- enjoy the game - |

 | | David2009: One of Eliskases' many qualities was endgame mastery e.g. E Eliskases vs Fischer, 1960. He was one of the very few players to win the notorious NN vs Pawn ending (J Salas Romo vs E Eliskases, 1941) - and this without being helped by defensive blunders from his opponent. A blunder is a result-changing mistake. <ray keene: only 4 players beat both capablanca and fischer
they were reshevsky keres euwe and eliskases!> Thanks Ray I didn't know that. |

He later played in tournament in Israel |

 | | Caissanist: Of course none of the members of the German 1939 Olympic team were Jewish, but they all stayed in South America. I believe this was because the allied navies controlled the oceans. |
|
| Jun-05-11 | | BobCrisp: <I believe this was because the allied navies controlled the oceans.> That hadn't occurred to me. I would have assumed there were neutral routes back into Europe. There were already substantial German (and other European) populations in Argentina before the war, so staying on there may not have been quite the upheaval it could appear. |

| Jun-05-11 | | falso contacto: One can leave here. Even Germans can. |
|
| Jun-05-11 | | BobCrisp: It seems that passenger ships were supposed to be exempt from attack under international law, but things became murkier as the war intensified. The first victim was the <SS Athenia>, torpedoed by a U-Boat on the first day of war (that's September 1, 1939, for our American friends), apparently a case of mistaken identity: <As Athenia was an unarmed passenger ship, the attack was in violation of the London Naval Treaty of 1930 which allowed all warships including submarines to stop and search merchant vessels, but provided that passengers and crew must be transferred to a "place of safety" as a priority if it was decided to sink their ship. Although Germany was not a signatory to this treaty, the German 1936 Prisenordnung binding their naval commanders copied it almost verbatim.> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Ath...
This site (http://ahoy.tk-jk.net/macslog/Passe...) lists 144 large passenger ships lost during WW2 but it includes ones that were seconded for military duties and those attacked in port, including by aerial bombardment, so the number of seaborne passenger ships deliberately attacked by all sides, let alone by the Allies, during the war seems to have been far fewer. The upshot of this is that <Caissanist>'s claim that the Germans were effectivley stranded in Argentinia, in fear of their lives, seems unwarranted. |

 | | Fusilli: <BobCrisp> <The upshot of this is that <Caissanist>'s claim that the Germans were effectivley stranded in Argentinia, in fear of their lives, seems unwarranted.> My theory is that the main reason why all these players stayed in Argentina was that they could not bear the thought of losing access to Argentine steak. :) |
