Kibitzer's Corner
Nov-09-24  Alan McGowan: Although it is stated that the game Stahlberg-Liebstein is not available, it is given in the tournament book.

The game was adjourned after White's 52nd move. When the position was set up for the game's resumption, a Black pawn was placed on the wrong square. Nobody noticed, and the game continued, Liebstein resigning after White's 68th move.

It was only when replaying the game that the error was discovered. According to the rules at the time, the game should have been played again from the correct position, but Liebstein renounced this right and resigned.

  Sally Simpson: Hi Alan,

Is the score of the game, it looks like it is, 1-0 on move 68.

https://chess.gallery/game/gideon-s...

Nov-10-24  Alan McGowan: Hi <Sally>. The score on that website is correct up to White's 52nd move, when the game was adjourned. When the players resumed the game, a pawn was placed on g7 instead of f7.

So, after the error was discovered Liebstein, considering his position once again, decided not continue with the replay from the correct position. Therefore, he rsigned after 52. Rd7.

Will you submit the game as such? At least CG would have all games from the event.

Nov-10-24  stone free or die: If you submit the game it would be best to put the moves beyond 52.Rd7 in a comment with a note explaining what happened.

(E.g. Alan's comment verbatim would be fine)

Nov-10-24  Alan McGowan: The moves that were played - in error - were:-

52...g6 53. Ke3 Rb2 54. Nd2 Rb4 55. Ne4+ Kc6 56. Rxd3 Kc7 57. g4 Rb1 58. Kf4 Rb4 59. Ke5 Ra4 60. Rd4 Ra6 61. Rd7+ Kc8 62. Rd6 Ra5+ 63. Kf4 Kc7 64. Rxg6 Kd7 65. Ra6 Rb5 66. Ng3 Ke7 67. Nf5+ Kd8 68. Re6 Resigns

Nov-10-24  stone free or die: Looks like the <chess.gallery> score after 52 is untrustworthy.

Are the moves up to 52.Rd7 good?

.

Nov-10-24  Alan McGowan: The <chess gallery> moves after 52. Rd7 were not played; the website must be aware of the 'wrong' moves played and is trying to somehow reach the final position. It's a moot point; the game ended after White's 52nd.
Nov-10-24  stone free or die: Yes, I'm aware.

The question remains, are the first 52 moves good on <chess.gallery>?

Or, alternatively, where can I currently get an accurate online version of the game?

Nov-10-24  Alan McGowan: I have just submitted the moves from the tournament book. The <chess gallery> has the same score up to 52. Rd7.
Nov-11-24  stone free or die: Thanks <Alan> for both answer and upload.

  Sally Simpson: Hi Alan;

<Will you submit the game as such?>

Sorry I was not active on C.G. after you posted. (I see you have done it.)

So the moves after 57 were bogus. I'll probably get the blame for that. They are still blaming me for the last time this happened in the von Feierfeil and Paul Lipke 1889 game, a wrong position set up after an adjournment; E von Feyerfeil vs Lasker, 1889 (kibitz #4)

Nov-11-24  stone free or die: Again, thanks to <Alan> the game is now on <CG>:

Stahlberg vs A Liebstein, 1944
