May-03-09		myschkin: . . . Eugenio Szabados (1898-1974) was a great man both in Venetian and Italian chess. Himself a player of master strength, he was also the organiser and patron of many fine chess events. ... He was rich, being the owner of many ships, among other things. In 1956 there was the so-called Suez crises, when the Suez canal was closed off by the Egyptian president Nasser, who wanted to nationalise it. Almost all of Szabados' ships were inside the canal at the time. According to Jan Hein Donner they were confiscated. Szabados had not insured his ships, because for an owner of a big fleet insurance is usually senseless. Once in a while you lose a ship, but insurance for the whole fleet would be much more costly. . . . In 1956 Szabados lost all of them and his whole fortune and was a poor man afterwards.
