Oct-16-05 | | Knight13: Sicilian, Richter-Rauzer (B60). Named after him. Not a bad opening. |
|
Jul-03-07 | | Chess Carnival: From Mark Taimanov's 'Winning with the Sicilian':
<"Rauzer was obsessive as an analyst and his creative fantasy prompted him into surprising discoveries. He believed, from a subjectively paradoxical argument, that the advantage of the first move should wield a tangible advantage with an energetic treatment of the opening. It would seem that Rauzer wanted to demonstrate that in the initial chess position, as in a study, one could formulate the task - 'White to play and win!'"> (page 7) |

 | | Open Defence: he is also credited as the originator of the Rauzer Attack.. more commonly called the Yugoslav Attack now... |
|
May-14-08 | | eremite: He has contributed to the theory of various openings and endgames (B+P in particular). There will be a centenary since his birth this October. Some memorial articles or/and tournaments (thematic?) might follow |
|
Oct-16-08 | | brankat: Born a hundred years ago today!
Unfortunately, Mater Rauzer died quite young, otherwise he would have certainly made even more contributions to the game. R.I.P. Mr.Rauzer. |

Oct-16-09 | | WhiteRook48: did Richter know Rauzer? |
|
Sep-14-10 | | rapidcitychess: My favorite quote from Mr.Rauzer
<1.e4! and White wins!>
--Rauzer
Bronstein in Zurich 1953 tournament book was glad he did so, for he said <He[Rauzer]gifted us with many attacking systems in the Ruy Lopez, Sicilian,French, and Caro Kann!> I know little of these. Could someone point these out? |
|
Oct-16-12 | | rapidcitychess: Someday we will finally find the end of chess. And 1.e4 will probably be the winning line for white. So much for draw death... |
|
Oct-16-12 | | Cibator: <Chess Carnival: (quoting Taimanov) It would seem that Rauzer wanted to demonstrate that in the initial chess position, as in a study, one could formulate the task - 'White to play and win!'> Perhaps he should have got together with Weaver Adams. If he'd ended up in the States, and lived long enough, he'd doubtless have acquired the nickname "Rebel". |
|
Oct-16-12 | | TheFocus: If he had been T. Rauzer, I am sure his nickname would have been Trousers. Just a thought. |
|
Aug-14-13 | | DoctorD: He was a lothario who knew every trick in the book, but somehow he failed to a rauzer. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: So he thought his variation of the Sicilian would give White the Rauzer's Edge? |

 | | eternaloptimist: <An Englishman> Good Evening: That's a nice pun! Rauzer was a strong player & it's a shame that he died at such a young age b/c he could've played a lot more brilliancies if he would've lived longer. Although CG's database doesn't have a single game of his where he played the white side of the Richter-Rauzer variation of the Sicilian. Although I've heard that he did introduce the plan of ♕d2 & 0-0-0 in this variation. Richter did actually play this variation however. It isn't as popular as it used to be but it's still relevant even today. The "scalps" of GM Korobov & GM Popov were taken this year! white wins in the Richter-Rauzer variation in the CG database this year.:

Although actually the 1st game in CG's database wasn't played by Richter.: N Mueller vs B Gregory, 1905
Richter did help to popularize it though.: http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches... |

 | | FSR: There's not a single game in the database where he played the Richter-Rauzer! There are three where he played the flaccid 6.Be2, scoring just one draw in three games! Repertoire Explorer: Vsevolod Rauzer (white) Sad! |
|
Oct-16-22
 | | FSR: There's also no game in the database where he played his other eponymous opening, the Richter-Veresov Attack. |
