Dec-06-05    Karpova: here's a picture of rosselli del turco: http://xoomer.virgilio.it/cserica/s... Dec-06-05    EmperorAtahualpa: <Karpova> When I try to view the picture I get the following error message: "You are not authorized to view this page" Dec-07-05    Karpova: ok, here is another try: http://www.asigc.altervista.org/fot... Dec-08-05    EmperorAtahualpa: <Karpova> Lol, sorry to say but the second link does not work either! When clicking on your second link I am automatically being forwarded to: http://images.altervista.org/images... Dec-08-05    Karpova: strange, this link works on my computer. i found it on this site: http://xoomer.virgilio.it/cserica/s... Dec-17-05    nikolaas: Can anybody tell if he was a 'marquis'? Because the tournament book of London 1922 gives in the major open section that a certain "Marquis del Turco" finished 10th. Dec-17-05    Karpova: i think that this was true but i can't confirm it. he's called Stefano Rosselli, Marchese del Turco. here's a biography (just on chess): http://xoomer.virgilio.it/cserica/s... Jul-17-06    brankat: Well, today is Mr. Rosselli del Turco's birthday. Have a good one, wherever You may be! Jul-17-06    brankat: On top of winning the Italian Championship 3 times, R.del Turco had fine results in some individual games. He did have a couple of Draws against Alekhine, also vs Dr.Vidmar and Dr.Euwe, Reti and Rubinstein. 2 Wins against Dr.Tarrasch, Gruendfeld, Colle. Apparently he started playing Chess somewhat late, but was possessed of considerable talent. Jul-17-06    Rocafella: I doubt he can have a good birthday when he's dead... Jul-17-07    skiskichess5: According to Chessgames he actually beat Tarrasch 3:2 having black in all 5 games! http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches... Jul-17-07    Calli: <Can anybody tell if he was a 'marquis'?> According to the Italian site, storia degli scacchi, he was. The following page says "Marchese" -> Marquis http://xoomer.alice.it/cserica/scac... Nov-28-08    dorsnikov: that photo IS NOT Rosseli Del Turko. it's Akiba Rubinstein in the 1930's.
