| Oct-12-13 | | Karpova: Josef Emil Krejcik: <Die ersten zwei Preise teilten Rubinstein und Duras, ein feindliches Brüderpaar. Beide interessante Spezialisten. Der Lodzer, das Prototyp des modernen Positionsspielers, der Prager noch mehr Künstler als der Russe, aber mit einer nervenaufpeitschenden Phantastik begabt, der gegenüber der Stil Rubinsteins wie die abgeklärte Ruhe des alten Goethe anmutet. Goethe und Grabbe ins Schach übertragen!> (The first two prizes were shared by Rubinstein and Duras, antagonistic brothers. Both interesting specialists. The one from Lodz is the archetypal modern positional player, the one from Prague yet more artist than the Russian, but gifted with a nerve-stretching fantasticism, compared to which the style of Rubinstein appears like the wordly-wise calmness of the old Goethe. Goethe and Grabbe transferred to chess!) From page 269 of the September-Oktober 1912 'Wiener Schachzeitung' |

| Oct-12-13 | | sneaky pete: Why do we have only 125 games here, when the tournament book gives all 153 games? |
|

 | | perfidious: <sneaky pete> Wondered about this myself, but just came across the missing games, which I will submit within a few days. |
|
| Mar-04-14 | | Karpova: Dr. Emanuel Lasker, Berlin, April 18, 1912:
<Allerdings hat der Vorstand des Deutschen Schachbundes mehrere Meister brüskiert, und es ist unwahrscheinlich, daß diese Differenzen sich ausgleichen lassen. Die hervorragensten deutschen Meister, wenn ich mich nicht rechne, sind Dr. Tarrasch, Teichmann, Mieses, E. Cohn. Von diesen wird vermutlich keiner teilnehmen.> (But the directorate of the German Chess Federation affronted several masters, and it is unlikely that the differences can be reconciled. The greatest German masters, if I don't count myself, are Dr. Tarrasch, Teichmann, Mieses, E. Cohn. None of them will probably play.) Source: 'Pester Lloyd', 1912.04.21, page 9
In the end, they did play. But what did the German Chess Federation do? What was the controversy about? |
|
| Mar-05-14 | | Karpova: A bit more information by Dr. Emanuel Lasker, Berlin, April 28, 1912: <Das Breslauer Komitee gibt sich Mühe, die deutschen Meister zum bevorstehenden Kongreß heranzuziehen, und es ist zu hoffen, daß seine Bemühungen Erfolg haben mögen. Vor nicht langer Zeit ist Erich Kohn von deutschen Turnieren ferngehalten worden. Und Teichmann wurde zum Nürnberger Turnier nicht zugelassen, aus diesem oder jenem Grunde. Das sind Widersinnigkeiten. Der Deutsche Schachbund ist nicht gegründet worden, um deutsche Schachmeister zu befehden. Möge in dem durch Streitigkeiten zerklüfteten Bunde das Breslauer Turnier eine Aera der Versöhnung, der Gerechtigkeit und des vernünftigen Fortschritts beginnen!> (The Breslau committee exters itself to draw the German masters on the impending congress, and hopefully, its troubles will be successful. Not long ago, Erich Cohn was kept away from German tournaments. And Teichmann was not admitted to the Nuremberg tournament, for this or that reason. Those are absurdities. The German Chess Federation was not founded to feud with German chess masters. May in the Breslau tournament in the ragged by arguments federation usher a new era of reconciliation, of justice and of rational progress!) Source: 'Pester Lloyd', 1912.05.05, page 10 |

| | perfidious: My poor typing skills in submission having been overcome, we edge closer to completeness of this page. Excelente! |
|
| Jun-17-15 | | zanzibar: 18th DSB Kongress (1912) (kibitz #2) 18th DSB Kongress (1912) (kibitz #3) 18th DSB Kongress (1912) (kibitz #6) Count is currently 136/153, <perfidious> doust thou speakest too soon? http://www.365chess.com/tournaments... No stubs in sight, I be moving on... |
|
| Aug-02-15 | | Benzol: <perfidious> <<sneaky pete> Wondered about this myself, but just came across the missing games, which I will submit within a few days.> Alan how far did you get with the missing games submissions? |
|
Aug-03-15
 | | Tabanus: <Benzol> He must have submitted about 11 of the then missing 28 games. CG says the remaining 16 are not in the database. 365Chess has all 153 games (and I plan to submit the missing ones), but I don't know yet if they can be trusted. Perhaps our German experts could help. |
|
Aug-03-15
| | perfidious: <Paul> and <Tabanus> Now my memory is shot; time to get back to work!! |
|
Aug-03-15
| | Tabanus: <perfidious> Right :) But I've now found the 16 games missing from the db, and am preparing an upload. I trust (so far) that 365Chess have them right, and will use their round numbers, with dates from Rubinstein's games. After they are put into DSB 1912 I guess it's time for a health check. |
|
Aug-03-15
| | Tabanus: I just sent the 16 missing games to CG. Hopefully they will take them in, and add them here. They've now added E Cohn vs Z Barasz, 1912 here. |
|
Aug-04-15
| | Tabanus: All 153 games are now here. And the points in the standings table got calculated as in the crosstable. A few points: 1) The original game collection has been deleted. 2) Rounds and pairings are as in 365Chess. 3) About 125 games were dated from before (for all rounds), and I added date to the remaining 28 according to this, with rest days only on July 21 (after rd. 6) and July 28 (after rd. 12). 4) No original source have been checked while trying to clean this up. |

| Feb-07-16 | | TheFocus: "The award of the special prizes of one hundred marks each in the international tournament at Breslau were awarded respectively to E. Cohn of Berlin for the best score against the five prize-winners, and M.L. Lowtzky of Munich for the best score of a non-prize winner in the last six rounds," - <American Chess Bulletin>, November 1912, pg. 245. |

 | | offramp: Schlechter undefeated again! What a hard man he was to beat. I admit that Zsigmond Barasz had not previously invaded my conciousness, but to score 50% at a German Championship is a good achievement. |
|
| Feb-07-16 | | TheFocus: In May-June, Schlechter scored +3=14-0 at Bad Pistyan, 4=; June, +1=4-0 at Budapest, 1=; and Breslau for three undefeated tournaments in a row. |
|
Feb-09-16
| | offramp: There is a very interesting site which calculates historical chess ratings in the Elo manner. The page for this tournament is at http://www.edochess.ca/tournaments/.... Here are its "Edos" for the players who scores 50% (8½/17): Barász, Zsigmond 2420
Breyer, Gyula 2478
Mieses, Jacques 2427
Przepiórka, Dawid 2446. |
|
| May-26-16 | | Howard: This event was one of the reasons why 1912 has been referred to as "the Rubinstein year". |
|
| Mar-31-17 | | Marmot PFL: <It is noteworthy that Schlechter followed up his score of drawn games at Pistyan by going through the Breslau Tournament undefeated – two tournaments running, without defeat, is probably something like a record.> Perhaps in 1912. Today for players like Anish Giri it's business as usual. |
