| Javid Danowski: To Chessgames. The 1909 match between Lasker and Janowski to which you refer in your biographical note was not a world championship match, even though counted as one in many sources. It was actually just a ten-game exhibition series rather than a match proper (ie all ten games were played regardless of whether the match was already decided or not). The actual Lasker - Janowski world hampionship match took place in November - December 1910, about a year after the ten-game match, not two years after, as you state in your note. Cheers. |

| chancho: I read in Fine's book The world's greatest chess games that he(Janowski) asked a friend to hold his chess winnings from the tournament for fear of spending it in the casino,(Monte Carlo 1903)but the urge was too great, and Janowski,the gambling addict asked for his winnings back. When his friend refused, it turned into a bitter dispute and Janowski then sued his friend. LOL what a character. |

| chancho: Janowsky-"I detest the endgame! A well played game should be virtually decided in the middlegame".Frank James Marshall said of Janowsky.-"He was a man who could follow the wrong path with more determination than anyone I ever met".David Janowski never did grasp the need for Logic in chess. |

| FHBradley: According to Lasker, Janowski was nothing more than a reasonably talented positional player gone wrong; I find it sad that Janowski could always rely on Mr. Nardus for his operations on and outside the chessboard, whereas the likes of Schlechter and Rubinstein were barely capable of holding their heads above the water level. |

| Saruman: I remember reading about Janowski and his contempt for players other than himself. Often he would call them coffeehouse-players or such. Once I believe he even offered someone knight odds! |

 |
| percyblakeney: Rudolf Spielmann on how Janowski reacted after losses: <His conqueror was first called "coffee-house player of the worst sort", "duffer" or "domino-player" respectively. Then followed a likewise juicy irritation as to how it was possible to admit such a bungler to the tournament. And then came his famous offer: "With you I can only play at knight odds!", an offer which I and others also received in the tournament in Carlsbad, 1907.> (Quoted from Forster's book on Burn) |

| chancho: When asked who were the best players in the world. David Janowsky said, "There are only three,Capablanca, Lasker, and the third I am to modest to mention." |

| fred lennox: That he said he didn't like endgames i take with a grain of salt. Maybe he didn't love endgames but he was quite good at it. Many of his victories are quite lengthy. Here is good endgame play. Janowski vs W Cohn, 1902 |

| Jim Bartle: Found this quote from Robert Byrne in the NY Times:
"...David Janowsky was infamous as the proponent of the Putrid Plan. Although the French-Polish player possessed an extraordinary talent, he did his best not to let it interfere with his game." |

| notyetagm: Any Janowski fan know the game in which he played a beautiful mating combination with a final mating position similar to this one?
click for larger viewThis position comes from a variation of the game Kasparov v Epishin 1995. I believe that Janowski played his version in a famous tournament from early last century. I solved it once but don't remember all the details. Thanks. |

| Peligroso Patzer: <fred lennox: That he said he didn't like endgames i take with a grain of salt. Maybe he didn't love endgames but he was quite good at it.> Interestingly, the first game listed among his "Notable Games":
Janowski vs Gruenfeld, 1925 features a half-point swindle in an endgame. |
|
| Aug-18-07 |
| get Reti: I like watching Janowski's games because he develops all of his pieces (including both rooks and queen) before starting an attack. For example, in the queen's gambit, he plays both Rac1, Rfd1, and Qe2 before playing a move such as Ne5. |

| DanielBryant: According to Soltis, his first name is Dawid, not David. |
|
| Jan-03-08 |
| Manic: <DanielBryant> I think it's the same name, just different spellings. Lawrence points out that Janowski and Daniel Yanofsky have the same surname but are just spelt differently. Janowski's surname is also sometimes spelt Janowsky. |

| Knight13: <Janowski's surname is also sometimes spelt Janowsky.> That's how Silman spelled it in one of his books. |
