| vonKrolock: <SBC> Maybe Mrs. Tanning herself could provide some precision about that, well i keep stiring in the search pages, trying to discover something new :) - In another side, I'm sorry to relate that, already since the Monte Carlo 1902 days (I mean from Your article on MC 1902 on - lol) my computer can not access Your articles any more - the link to the "archives by title" appears, but the new entries, for instance those from May 2007are not been loaded - maybe is only me?! - I tried already from another computer, in a coffee-house, and ahd not success too (in this way, I can not, for instance see actually Your article on Erbo...) |

| whiteshark: <Electronic chess as a work of art <In March 1968, only 7 months before his death, Duchamp participated in an electronic chess game- concert- artwork called Reunion along with his friend , the composer <John Cage>. <Their "performamce" took place at Ryerson Polytechnic in Toronto. A photo-electronic switching mechanism was attached to the chess board so that the movements of the pieces on the board could generate sounds and light. <Duchamp won the game.>> > > |

< THE RIDDLE OF DUCHAMP > = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
by Alexander Beliavsky

|
| whiteshark: Part I
<Marcel Duchamp is an enigmatic figure both in the world of chess and in the world of art. Art historicans to this day argue about his place in the hierarchy of contemporary art, and chess players find it hard to understand why a successful artist threw down his brush to become a professional chess player for thirty years.> |

|
| whiteshark: Part II
Duchamp played for France in the Olympics four times, published an endgame book about the <theory of corresponding squares> with the well-known theoretican V Halberstadt, and featured his favourite game in many of his pictures, the majority of which are displayed in famous museums such as the <New York Museum of Modern Art> and the <Paris National Museum>. |

| whiteshark: Part III
He composed one enigmatic study but never gave the solution. In the 1980s the magazine < Chess Life and Review > published a discussion with the participation of Grandmaster Larry Melvyn Evans, reaching the conclusion that there is no win. The author of an article in the soviet magazine <64> from 1990 came to the same conclusion: there is no solution. We [Beliavsky/Mikhalchishin] believe, however, that the truth of the < riddle of Duchamp > can be found. |

| SBC: I've spend almost every free minute in a past 2 months working on a project called "Chess and the Surrealists." The result is a very large page (actually about 40 extremely large pages) about the interactions between the Surrealist artists during the time between and including the two great wars and the common threads that act as motifs in that movement... with Chess being a major motif....Duchamp, another. It's a little gossipy, but Chess takes the front row seat. Anyway, before I publish the thing online, I wanted to throw it out amongst the wonderful and intelligent members here and hopefully get some critical (bad or good) feedback. http://sbchess.sinfree.net/Imagery_... |

| vonKrolock: But this is a veritable on-line book - a robust and corroborating product: thanks for leting me access all the pages, this would be worth a premium membership (but the *comments* link gives just a blank page for me). Another message in Carl Schlechter page |

| Kleve: SBC - Wonderful page on the Surrealists!! Man Ray, predictably, blew everyone else out of the water. When I was a kid, I had a copy of Chessmaster 3000... And I seem to remember that one of the sets was very similar to Man Ray's. Were they identical? At the time I was very annoyed that they did not look like the Staunton pattern chessmen that my Great-Grandmother had purchased for me on my fifth birthday... Ah, memories.
OK - MAINTAIN - KLEVE |

| mack: Aw man, how did I miss this one for so long? <SBC>, you are clearly a wonderful person, and when I'm not so very, very sleepy I'll print the whole bastard thing off and leave a million and one different comments. I can't wait to get my teeth into this. |

| Tomlinsky: I clean missed this as well. That's wonderful <SBC>. Thoroughly enjoying the absorbing and excellently presented content so far. |

| Domdaniel: <SBC> Thank you. What <mack> says. I have many books on Duchamp -- though Jarry, Breton and Ernst also impress me, along with Nimzowitsch and the concurrent rise of hypermodern chess. Most of the stuff on Duchamp is by art-world writers with little feeling for chess; some of it, much less, is by chessplayers who misconstrue the art. I'm waiting for the book that will do justice to both strands, and I've even thought about writing it myself. Meanwhile, good luck with your project. |

| mack: <Most of the stuff on Duchamp is by art-world writers with little feeling for chess> You've read Alice Goldfarb Marquis, then? The woman somehow manages to turn every last part of Duchamp's career into a sexual perversion of some sort. Why, oh why did Marcel have to use the phrase 'sister squares'? |

| brankat: An interesting quote by C.Tompkins on M.Duchamp:
"He seems, on the whole, to have been a good deal more serious about chess than he ever was about art, and he has made no secret of his opinion that as an activity of the human mind, chess is much purer than art, because it is in no danger of being corrupted by money." --- Calvin Tomkins (on Duchamp) |

| lopium: I just saw a photo on the internet of Marcel Duchamp playing with a nude woman : Eve Babitz. They seem concerned only by the chessboard anyway! |
