|
| Aug-09-07 | | vonKrolock: The connections You could imagine between a Chess player from Hamburg and a musician from Leipzig!? I'll not even dare to relate Richard Wagner with a musician born in Leipzig and called Wagner too, who lived in my city, because Wagner is a quite widely found surname in Central Europe |

| Aug-09-07 | | whiteshark: Crumbs from the history of the chess society <Kieler Schachgesellschaft von 1884>: Gleich nach dem Ende des Krieges nahm die Kieler Schachgesellschaft ihren Spielbetrieb wieder auf. Johannes Metger, <Heinrich Wagner> und Alfred Brinckmann wurden die Stützen des Vereins. Wieder begann die Schachgesellschaft mit einem Vergleichskampf gegen Lübeck den sie mit 14:10 gewann.
...
Brinckmann richtete zu Ehren seines Lehrmeisters Metger ein Meisterturnier aus, dem er den Namen "Johannes-Metger-Jubiläumsturnier" gab. Sieger wurde <Wagner> vor Sämisch. Danach folgten Schweinburg, Schönmann, Pahl und Brinckmann. Mit <Heinrich Wagner> begannen erneut Simultanvorstellungen. Reti spielte Blindsimultan an 12 Brettern. Emanuel Lasker war 1925 in Kiel und Bogoljubow kam 1926. Es folgten Wagner und Sämisch. Nach zwei Simultanveranstaltungen die Brinckmann gab, besuchten Bogoljubow, Nimzowitsch und Euwe die Kieler Schachgesellschaft. Source: http://www.kieler-sg.de/ksg_geschic...

An excellent use of chessboard geometry through creative twinning. Here are the positions for b and c in case those instructions above are confusing:

| Oct-05-13 | | Karpova: In Flensburg, 1926, Wagner won a match against Brinckmann by the score of +3 -1 =2 From page 189 of the June 1926 'Neue Wiener Schachzeitung' |
|
| Oct-07-13 | | Karpova: Interesting "Simul Match":
On October 7, after Nimzowitsch's lecture, the following competition between Nimzowitsch and Wagner was held: Both played the same Simul opponents at the same time*. The Simul match was drawn as both Masters scored 17.5-8.5. *so every participant in the Simul was himself playing 2 games simultaneously - one against Nimzowitsch, the other one against Wagner From page 316 of the October 1926 'Neue Wiener Schachzeitung' |

 | | Dionysius1: That's brilliant timing! I was about to ask what the connection was between Wagner retiring from playing chess and the Nazis coming to power in 1933 (see biog). Para 8 kind of answers the question - there was a lot of reorganisation of social life, clubs were disbanded and regrouped under Nazi principles. That could make people give up playing, in public anyway. |
