Sep-07-04    mjk: This is rather unkind, but do you suppose this guy is really N.N.? May-27-09    Sem: A meagre stub for a man who beat the great Lasker. Herbert Trenchard took some prizes in British tournaments, and participated in the famous Kaiser-Jubilaeumsturnier, Vienna 1898, won by Tarrsch and Pillsbury. Trenchard finished 19th. Jul-05-09    whiteshark: <Sem: <Trenchard finished 19th.>> i.e. last. Crosstable, pictures, games.--> http://www.worldchesslinks.net/ezqa... Jul-18-09    Sem: <whiteshark> thanks. How I would have loved to bring up the rear, having beaten Lasker! Jul-18-09    keypusher: <Sem> Lasker didn't play at Vienna 1898. I assume this was a casual game? Lasker vs H W Trenchard, 1890 Sep-02-10    GrahamClayton: Here is a nice attacking game by Trenchard: [Event "Casual game"] [Site "London, England"] [Date "1897.??.??"] [Round "?"] [White "Trenchard, Herbert William"] [Black "Mocatta, A"] [Result "1-0"] 1. e4 e5 2. f4 d5 3. exd5 e4 4. d3 f6 5. dxe4 c5 6. b5+ c6 7. dxc6 a5+ 8. c3 bxc6 9. d3 g4 10. h3 O-O 11. e2 b6 12. d2 xb2 13. b1 a3 14. b3 a5 15. f5 e5 16. f4 a6 17. cd5 xa2 18. f6+ gxf6 19. h5 a1+ 20. e2 xh1 21. c4 g1 22. g3+ h8 23. g6+ fxg6 24. xh7+ xh7 25. h3+ g7 26. h6+ 1-0 Sep-02-10    Nosnibor: Whiteshark. According to the official records Trenchard did not finish last.In 20th place was Schwarz on 0 points having lost his first 19 games ( not quite as bad as Colonel Moreau!).He defaulted all of his remaining 19 games on the second double round of the event. Sep-02-10    whiteshark: <Nosnibor> Thanks for pointing out. Indeed, Adolf Schwarz withdrew after playing 8 games. I think there is a rule or a habit that leaving a tournament in the first half leads to a cancellation of all results and a delisting in the crosstable. So here 19th place seems to be the last place. Sep-02-10    Nosnibor: Whiteshark. I agree that those rules apply now but not in 1898.My score table is taken from Maroczy`s best games (German edition) Sep-02-10    whiteshark: <Nosnibor> http://www.endgame.nl/wien.htm says "<The aging Schwarz left the tournament during round eight. His games were cancelled at the end of the first cycle.>" <cancelled> is the key word. I'd guess Maroczy's biographer was 'over-accurately' here.
