Aug-17-04    percyblakeney: Gyula Makovetz (1860-1903) was a Hungarian who had only Tarrasch ahead of him in Dresden 1892, and won a match against Charousek 1893 (3.5-2.5). He seems to have played very little apart from those events. Aug-17-04    percyblakeney: At least he should have stopped playing Charousek after winning that match in 1893... Jul-25-06    Calli: From the bio "At Graz he was 1st ahead of Johann Hermann Bauer, Johann Hermann Bauer," I think that line is from our department of redundancy department here at CG ;-> Jul-26-06    Gypsy: Per 1893+ Hungarian chess journalists, Makovetz + Charousek + Maroczy = 'the triumvirate' Mar-13-08    whiteshark: Here you can find a bio in German: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyula_... The English on is quite featureless :( Sep-06-08    ravel5184: The better sounding "Redundancy Department of Redundancy" sounds better. Sep-06-08    whiteshark: Why? I wonder why? Sep-06-08    ravel5184: Aw, you're just jealous of my extraordinary sense of humor. :) Sep-06-08    whiteshark: Wide of the mark! Dulness is the coming of age of seriousness. :D
