 | | Tabanus: Game Collection: Speelman - Short Candidates Quarterfinal, missing playing time (3 pm?, 5 pm?) and arbiters. Game 4 date changed from 22 to 21 August. |
|
| Feb-24-24 | | Chessist: BCM 1988, p418:
"Playing sessions were to be 2-8pm on August 17, 18, 20, 21, 23 and 25. If the match was drawn 3-3, then two further games would be played at the same time limit of 40 moves in two hours and 20 moves per hour thereafter. A 4-4 result would be followed by a sudden death play-off of quick-play games on August 31." |

| | Tabanus: <Chessist> Thanks, noted. So 2 pm in London, 3 pm in Antwerp and 5 pm in Seattle. Speelman - Short 1988: who was the arbiter? I've searched everywhere, cannot find. I think the arbiters are in this photo: https://blogger.googleusercontent.c... |

| Feb-24-24 | | stone free or die: You don't think they're other officials from Pilkington Glass? Alastair Pilkington, and his associate Kenneth Bickerstaff, invented the floating glass process, which is basically used (under license) to manufacture all the (thick) plate glass windows in the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Float... |

| | Tabanus: <You don't think they're other officials from Pilkington Glass?> I doubt that. The arbiters used to stand by the table for the opening move. I also suppose they are not from UK. |

<tab> - have you considered trying to contact <Jon Tisdell> and see if he could recall the names of the directors/arbiters? Also - SLV (Australian State Library of Victoria) appears to have a copy of the 22p souvenir pamphlet <Pilkington Glass world championship quarter final> https://find.slv.vic.gov.au/discove... (phone 03 8664 7002) Keverel books also appears to be offering it up for sale at £2.50: https://www.keverelchess.com/wp-con... |

Just kidding - though I am a bit surprised that matches such as <Maroczy--Vidmar (1922)> and <Maroczy--Kostic (1922)> don't have know locations. |

Before the London tournament, Maroczy and dr. Vidmar played two training games in Ljubljana. The next game took place on July 9, 1922:

|
| Feb-27-24 | | BarakSaltz: "O Jogo Real" (1907) by Alfredo Ansur makes mention of various newspaper chess columns from Portugal hard to find on the web. |
|
| Feb-27-24 | | stone free or die: RE: <BarakSaltz>'s mention of <O Jogo Real> <By Alfredo Ansur, as author: «The real game (O Jogo Real)». Miscellaneous notes for an attempt at an elementary chess treatise, by Alfredo Ansur, former lawyer. Composed and printed at Typographia do Commercio, in Leiria, Abilio and Saraiva. Lisbon, 1907. In-8.o of xvI-334 numbered pages, 2 numbered pages and a leaflet with a «Chess Schema», 1907, by Baldaque. Reviewed and edited by A. Ansur.> https://books.google.com/books?newb... (But I couldn't find the book itself via Google Books) |
|
| Feb-27-24 | | BarakSaltz: I have "O Jogo Real" (1907). Here are some of its citations to Portugal chess columns:
Diario de Portugal, 1879;
Novidades, 12.18.1895,9.8.1902
Tarde, 6.20.1895
Edoratings points to "Tiro e Sport" as having a chess column. |
|
| Feb-27-24 | | stone free or die: Thanks <BarakSaltz> for those titles. I'm always on the lookout for new online sources, and searching for those titles lead me to this resource: https://permalinkbnd.bnportugal.gov...
I'm not sure if I'll find any chess content there, but it's a place I haven't searched before. If I (or anyone else) find some chess content it will get added to my index page: https://zanchess.wordpress.com/2019... |
|
| Feb-27-24 | | BarakSaltz: Useful when searching Portuguese-language chess columns is the search term "brancas pretas". "Revista da Semana" had quite a few chess games in it. http://memoria.bn.br/hdb/periodico.... |
|
| Feb-27-24 | | stone free or die: Again, thanks <Barak> for that suggestion. (I checked, and was glad to see it already in the zanchess newspaper/periodical index) |

| | jnpope: <<stone free or die>: Wonder if Rod Edwards follows the Bistro, or should we collect a few and eventually drop him a note?> If/when you do contact Rod, please let him know that http://www.edochess.ca/matches/m623... is wrong and he should stop following Die Fälscher. At this point it looks like Die Fälscher was taking games from the <Oxford Encyclopedia of Chess Games> out of context and creating "matches" to pad his craptacular book, which also explains the fictitious Anderssen-Zukertort matches he created between 1864-1867. Rod should update his Zukertort vs Knorre page with some factual information:
Game Collection: Zukertort - Knorre Casual Series (1866)
|
|
| Feb-28-24 | | stone free or die: OK, <jnpope>, duly noted. It's nice to see the development of <EDOchess> from it's early days (with also total dependence on secondary sources - Gaige, Di Felice, Kuiper, and Spinrad - and little primary refs). |
|
| Feb-28-24 | | stone free or die: FWIW - Looks like Winter has come roaring back with a vengeance... <T.D. Harding’s (ungrammatical) opinion of our correspondents’ motives is that C.N. ‘benefits from a network of contributors worldwide, happy to do so in exchange for having their books promoted or just “seeing their name up in lights”.’> https://www.chesshistory.com/winter...
It seems <Missy> isn't the only one fixated with Staunton (or is s/he?)... Nineteen mentions on the current Chess History home page. |

 | | Sally Simpson: I recall I posted something similar on the ECF quite a while back. It was the occasional use of 'we' and the work that goes into finding all the errors in books etc. Surely too much for one person was my stance. I suggested perhaps there was a team of helpers. Replies were very quick in putting me right. But it was really just a passing thought, I saw nothing at all wrong in it. Of course I should have quit there and then but I was on a run and just had to post that the title of chess historian is a made up title, anyone can call themselves a chess historian, what university has a chess historian course etc etc and unfortunately even more etc's.(when I'm on a run I never pause for breath.) And upon learning in the very next post Dr Tim Harding got his PH'd with a thesis on correspondence chess in Britain and Ireland, 1824–1914 the only sound after that was me crashing to the ground in flames without a parachute. I've made a few craters with burning wrecks on various forums but that was deepest. If one really desires to have their moment in the sun on Mr Winters site all you need do print something you know is wrong in a book. He (or they) will catch it and there you are. Instant Infamy. |
|
| Feb-28-24 | | stone free or die: <Sally> - I recall reading a wee bit of that thread of yours over on ECF. There's quite a few CG'ers who have gotten published over on ChessHistory, some even without reprimand. |
|
Feb-28-24
| | Sally Simpson: Hi Stoney,
I have been on a few times helping out.
And once I pulled his leg when needing a chess historian for a joke, and who else is more famous than Mr Winter? That also resulted in yet another prang and a reprimand for 'stating falsehoods.' Happy Days! |
