LIONEL ADALBERT BAGRATION FELIX KIESERITSKY
(born Jan-01-1806, died May-18-1853) Estonia

[what is this?]

Lionel Adalbert Bagration Felix Kieseritsky was born of mixed Polish and German descent in 1806 in what is now Tartu. A teacher of mathematics, he became increasingly absorbed in chess and in 1839 went to France to meet Louis Charles Mahe De La Bourdonnais. Whilst there he took up residence in the Cafe De La Regence giving lessons or playing games for a fee of five francs per hour. He defeated Bernhard Horwitz (+7, =1, -4) in a match in London in 1846. However, he is best remembered for the loss of the "Immortal Game" against Adolf Anderssen (see Anderssen vs Kieseritzky, 1851) and a line in the King's Gambit Accepted (1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3.

Jan-01-07		Tacticstudent: "EricCartman: During World War II, Operation Bagration was the general attack by Soviet forces to clear the Nazis from Belarus which resulted in the destruction of the German Army Group Centre, possibly the greatest defeat for the Wehrmacht during the war." No, man, Wehrmacht greatest defeat happened in north africa, when the German forces there ( Afrika Korps) were completely dizimated by the American army.

Jan-01-07		DutchDunce: What if he married Dr. Jana Malypetrova Hartston Miles Bellin?

Jan-01-07		Honza Cervenka: <No, man, Wehrmacht greatest defeat happened in north africa> With all respect to Allied Force's success in North Africa it was by far not a decisive moment for the outcome of the WW2. The matter of fact is that about 90% of total Wehrmacht's losses have occurred on the East front.

Jan-01-07		Open Defence: his 201st birth anniversary ? :)

Jan-01-07		Necessary Truths: <DutchDunce: What if he married Dr. Jana Malypetrova Hartston Miles Bellin?> Eeeewww, he's like 141 years older than her! Talk about craddle robbing!

Jan-01-07		Maatalkko: <Honza> Not 90%. More like 70% I believe. Still a majority.

Jan-01-07		Maatalkko: Of course Russians in 1806 named their children after Bagration. Read WAR AND PEACE sometime.

Jan-01-07		Wilson H. L.: <Necessary Truths: <DutchDunce: What if he married Dr. Jana Malypetrova Hartston Miles Bellin?> Eeeewww, he's like 141 years older than her! Talk about craddle robbing!> In this case, it xwould much more of a grave robbing :)

Jan-01-07		Sneaky: <Operation Bagration> You see, the Germans had rations, and the Russians bagged them.

Jan-01-07		technical draw: <Sneaky> Quit your bragation about your history knowledge.

Jan-03-07		Honza Cervenka: <Maatalkko: <Honza> Not 90%. More like 70% I believe. Still a majority.> According to Wikipedia total death toll of German soldiers on Eastern front is estimated as 4,300,000 (3,100,000 KIA/MIA + 1,200,000 dead German POWs taken by Soviets) and with some additional 3,300,000 POWs German losses were about 6,400,000 soldiers on Eastern front. Total Axis losses there were probably about or over 9 million (that includes soldiers of German allies as well as Nazi collaborators among Soviet residents). In North Africa Wehrmacht lost some of its most experienced and elite units but the toll was much lower.

Jan-03-07		Maroczy: I thought it was common knowledge that WWII was won on the eastern front. Sometimes the truth hurts.

Jan-03-07		JointheArmy: <Maroczy> It IS common knowledge. Well to everyone except the UN. They still think China and France are considered the victors of WWII. They probably still think the Maginot line could stop a nuclear assault on Europe. /thousandth time insulting the French

Jan-03-07		keypusher: <I thought it was common knowledge that WWII was won on the eastern front.> Rubbish! Everyone knows it was won on the playing field of Eton.

Jan-03-07		euripides: <Rubbish! Everyone knows it was won on the playing field of Eton.> you think we only had one ?

Jan-03-07		keypusher: <you think we only had one?> Of course, that's why the war lasted so long.

Nov-04-07		whiteshark: Extended bio, family roots, picture and autograph etc: http://www.chessbase.de/nachrichten...

Jan-06-08		JimmyVermeer: I'm confused about the spelling of this guy's name. Some books say Kieseritsky and others say Kieseritzky. How can I be sure which is correct?

Jan-06-08		MichAdams: You can't, so if you pick one, how is anybody going to be sure that you're wrong?

Jan-06-08		sneaky pete: The man himself signed his name as Kieseritzky, see http://www.chessbase.de/newsroom2.a....

Jan-06-08		JimmyVermeer: I can see how Staunton got confused (It is spelled with an s in Staunton's book). The z in that signature does sort of look like an s.

Aug-30-08		whiteshark: Games or problems on boards of more than two dimensions are grouped in the category <Space Chess>. The earliest known historical reference is the 'Deutsche Schachzeitung' 1878, page 117, where < Kieseritzky <>> is said to have shown his newly-discovered <Cube Chess> (Kubikschach) to Andersen at the 1851 London tournament.

Jan-16-09		nimh: There were times when strange handicap games where, depending on the strenght of the partner - or rather weakness - the opponent was given either rook or queen odds, but besides three to eight additional pawns were placed on the board before the beginning of the actual play. This game was played in Paris in 1844 between Kieseritsky and Desloges. [FEN " click for larger view "] 1. e4 e6 2. d4 c6 3. Bd3 d5 4. e5 Bd7 5. Be3 Na6 6. a3 Nc7 7. a4 a5 8. b5 b6 9. Ne2 c5 10.
