Nov-30-06		Calli: Lowcki is the preferred spelling. For instance, see Chessmetrics http://db.chessmetrics.com/PL/PL237... or search the internet and you will more Lowcki references: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&... Chess Personalia by Jeremy Gaige also gives Lowcki as the main entry and "Lowtzky" only as a variation. The games Alekhine vs M Lovtsky, 1914 and Lovtsky vs Burn, 1912 also were played by Lowcki and should be combined.

Nov-08-07		Karpova: Information on Moishe Leopoldowicz Lowcki from "The Life and games of Akiva Rubinstein - Volume 1: Uncrowned King". He lived from 1881 to 1940 and was equal first (with Rubinstein) in the 1916 Warsaw Championship and came in second the next year. Lowcki was arrested by the Gestapo in 1940 and perished in a concentration camp later that year. He played a match against Rubinstein in Warsaw in 1916 and lost 0.5-2.5 (this was the play-off from the Warsaw Championship). All that is preserved from this three games match is the following: Lowcki-Rubinstein, April 1916 click for larger view 1...f3 2.gxf3 Kf4 3.Ke2 Kg3 4.Ke3 Kxh3 5.Kf2 Kh2 6.f4 h3 7.f5 Kh1 8.f6 h2 1/2

Jan-29-09		Karpova: From C.N. 4887 <On the strength of his score at San Remo, 1911 Łowcki finished top of a list of �Masters� Averages, 1911� on pages 209-210 of "The Year-Book of Chess, 1912" by E.A. Michell (London, 1912)> Source: http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/... This is the crosstable of San Remo 1911: http://xoomer.alice.it/cserica/scac... He was the runner-up behind Fahrni and scored 7.0/10 (+5 -1 = 4). As you can see it was not that bad a tournament with Przepiorka, Gunsberg and the young Reti among others. Still, those ten games were enough to make him top that list with 70 % out of 10 games. For sure, even the author of that list admits that this is a bit strange and concludes that Schlechter's score is probably the best overall (though not the highest) with 65.09 % (53 games, 34.5 points).

Sep-08-10		GrahamClayton: Lowcki and several other Jewish chess players (Przepiorka, Frydman) organised a tournament in the Warsaw prison where they were imprisoned, which was won by Lowcki.

Sep-14-10		Russian Grandmasters: <Calli> this is spelling of his name from the Polish Wikipedia web page: <Mojżesz Leopoldowicz Łowcki> http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moj...
