Dec-28-04    Benzol: Andreas Dueckstein Born 2nd August 1927 in Budapest He was Austrian champion in 1954, 1956 and 1977. Mar-09-05    mcgee: Unusually, an IM with wins over three world champions (Euwe, Botvinnik and Spassky). Can anyone top this? He also has three wins over Larsen. Mar-09-05    Benzol: <Can anyone top this?> Yes, I think Rashid Gibiatovich Nezhmetdinov has a good claim to be better. Mar-10-05    mcgee: Nezhemtdinov has more aggregate wins over world champions, but according to the database he only defeated two world champs (Spassky and Tal). Aug-02-06    BIDMONFA: Andreas Dueckstein DUECKSTEIN, Andreas http://www.bidmonfa.com/dueckstein_... _ Sep-19-08    whiteshark: He wrote a small book <Meister der Turmendspiele (1890-1914)>*, Wiener Schacherlag, no year of publication. It contains 50 ...endgames, chronologically listed. I wonder if there is a continuation? * <Masters of rook endgames> for those who don't speak Austrian. :A Sep-19-08    DoctorD: No continuation. It would be a wonderful coup for someone to come out with one. It is a wonderful book, I was lucky enough to find a copy last year. Sep-20-08    whiteshark: <DoctorD: No continuation.> That's a real shame! It seems we have to do it on our own. Feel free to post your games/suggestions/ideas at my forum. :D Aug-02-09    WhiteRook48: IM a winner against three world champions Aug-14-10    Phony Benoni: <whiteshark: He wrote a small book <Meister der Turmendspiele (1890-1914)>*, Wiener Schacherlag, no year of publication. It contains 50 endgames, chronologically listed. I wonder if there is a continuation?> I would imagine a book on endgames would be more likely to have a prequel. Apr-05-12    wordfunph: oldest participant 85-year-old IM Andreas Dueckstein (2221) scoring +1=8-0 in the European Seniors Team Championship in Rogaška Slatina. http://chess-results.com/tnr67565.a... Aug-02-12    lentil: <IM a winner against three world champions> Were they WCs when he beat them? [I have a win against an IM. But he was only 10 years old at the time...] Aug-02-12    perfidious: <lentil> Botvinnik was the only reigning WC whom Dueckstein defeated, though this game, played that same year, was also a shocker (A Dueckstein vs Euwe, 1958).
