Dec-08-03 | | Alchemist: How is it exactly that this man's play spans 133 years? I think that the games from 1973+ may not be genuine. |

May-01-06 | | vonKrolock: Excellent article on-line "Romantic Italian Chess
and the first Russian Masters", by Dr. Isaac M. Linder <"Serafino Dubois (1817-90) became a true representative of the Italian school in the 19th century.He succeeded in substantiating the combination principles not only in theoretical monographs but by testing them himself in the games he played against the leading players of the day, including Anderssen, Paulsen and Steinitz.
The role of S. Dubois in the chess history of Italy can be compared with that of M. Chigorin in Russia."> more at http://freeweb.supereva.com/carmelo... |

As a player, well, to win against W.Steinitz 3 games in a set match is no small feat. |

Jan-16-16 | | zanzibar: <Focus> what's the context for that quote?? * * * * *
New item about match between M. de Riviere and Dubois played in Rome ~early summer 1862: http://www.chessarch.com/excavation... <The result was: Signor D., 0; drawn, 1; M. de R. all the rest> ! No mention of how many games constitute "all the rest". Any of these games in the record? |

Jan-16-16 | | TheFocus: <zanzibar> <Focus>< what's the context for that quote??> I don't know. I got it from a chess quotes site. |
|
Jan-16-16 | | zanzibar: I was afraid of that. The quote would be much more interesting knowing what he's talking about... ... or maybe not. |

Jan-16-16 | | zanzibar: Quite possibly he was talking about the <French Defense>... http://www.chess.com/groups/forumvi... |
