Feder on his chess games with Zweig in Brazil - quote <"Ich bin ein schwacher Spieler, aber seine Kenntnis der Kunst war so gering, da� es mich M�he kostete, ihn gelegentlich eine Partie gewinnen zu lassen"> or:'I am a weak player, but his knowledge of the art was so limited, that I it was very hard for me, to let him occasionally win a game' Nevertheless, Zweig created one of the classics of the Chess tales : <"Schachnovelle"> , writen between 1938 and 1941 in Brazil (Petr�polis, Rio de Janeiro) published for the first time in Portuguese, together with two other stories, one of the 'three affections', "As Tr�s Paix�es" - (translator ?! - ) , September 1942, and soon after in German, in Buenos Aires in the same year, more preciselly in December 7th, in a limited edition of 300 copies. Earlier in that Year, Zweig (together with wife Lotte) comitted suicide in his home in Petr�polis (February 23th, a few days after the conclusion of the manuscript of his 'chessical story') virtual exibit http://www.lasker-gesellschaft.de/s...
