| Mar-06-08 | | eremite: http://www.newinchess.com/Masterpie... - this new book is full of well annotated games of Bohatirchuk, as well as of rich citations of his unique memoirs. It should be translated and published somewhere in US or UK |
 |
| Mar-06-08 | | MichAdams: <Meet Botvinnik in his younger years, his rivalry with Nikolai Ruimin, Levenfish, Alekhine(!) and many other early-Soviet giants.> He didn't play Alekhine until 1936, so I don't know if this is just an error, or deliberately misleading. And they spelled <seperately> incorrectly, as well. |

 | | Calli: A friend who reads Russian tells me that the book is great but much of it already in Voronkov's columns at Chesspro.ru |
|
| Mar-07-08 | | eremite: Right, but if one cannot read in Russian, he can enjoy neither articles at chesspro.ru nor a book... |

 | | whiteshark: "My great attraction to chess was much because it was democratic: race, religion, class, or age had no bearing at all. In chess, we are just like children, being interested, first of all, in everything unexpected, new,
marvellous."
-- Fedor P. Bohatirchuk |

 | | Karpova: C.N. 5816 shows a photograph of Bohatirchuk's grave (taken by Irene Ben-Tchavtchavadze) and Yakov Zusmanovich writes: <Currently I am cooperating with Sergey Voronkov on his book about Bohatirchuk. We are going to re-issue Bohatirchuk’s volume 'Moi zhiznenny put’ k Vlasovu i Prazhskomu Manifestu', which was published in Russian in San Francisco in 1978. In addition to Bohatirchuk’s own text, the book will include a collection of his games, articles and documents. There will be an extensive introduction by Boris Spassky.> Readers who can help him (they <are particularly interested in the games from Bohatirchuk’s match against Stepan Popel in Cracow and from a tournament in Radom. Both events took place in 1944.>) should contact Edward Winter. Source: http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/... |

| | Karpova: Ludek Pachman: <However, while reminiscing about those days I find some consolation in the knowledge that I conducted debates of this type only with people who lived in safety and have not harmed a single person who lived under our system. Precisely because of this I am now meeting in exile people of whom I must ask forgiveness for my past remarks. This I would also like to do in our case. When in your reply to my article in "CHESS" you made me an offer to come to Canada, where you would help me, I used to consider it a mockery. Only later it became clear to me that your invitation was a serious and sincere expression of your noble character and your true love for a fellow human.> From a letter to Fedor Bohatirchuk (26 January 1979, originally written in German) printed on pages 156-157 of "CHESS", April 1980. Source: Edward Winter's "Pachman, Bohatirchuk and Politics", 2003.

 | | Richard Taylor: <Gypsy: At one point I came accross a thought that a soviet-style system could have succeeded if it were composed of people like Botvinnik. The flaw of that thought is that Botvinnik would not stand another Botvinnik in the same land. He took a resolute preemptive action against any, real or perceived challenge to his top-dog possition (Levenfish, Bronstein, ...) When Botvinnik did not feel challenged, he was a humorless but benevolent king. Most understood that and kept safe by giving Botvinnik wide berth (Ragozin, Flohr, Keres, ...). ..> Despite everything that is said about this bloke - and I know Stalin was a bad egg - but this Bohatirchuk may have collaborated withe Nazis..which would make it understandable that Botvinnik wasn't keen on him... or his book published by (and for?) the Nazis...also these chess rivalries lead to statements such as "hang him" etc but it is heresay - Botters was probably a bit grumpy but this doesn't necess. mean he was evil. And the model for Zhivago? Sounds as as though the bloke romanticised himself... also... was he that good? Still it is very interesting. |

 | | Gypsy: <Benzol> Yes, that is the Game 1 of the 1944 Match that Bohatirchuk won (7.5-0.5) against the local masters in Prague (Pachman: "Eight games by GM Bogatyrchuk"). Pachman spoiled the game in time scramble; control was at move 38, if I recall correctly. -- I do hope that those games will get published soon. |
|
Apr-13-09
| | Gypsy: <... or his book published by (and for?) the Nazis ...> I may be the source of a misconception here. Just to make it clear: The "book" (8-Games of GM Bohatirchuk) were notes/pamphlet personally typewritten by Pachman, sometime during the Winter of 1944/45. Nazi propaganda and or printing resources had really nothing to do with it. (We just did not know what it was til a copy was discovered by IM Gerard Welling.) |
