Vladimir Petrov (kibitz #262)

well known game from the match 'Spielmann v Petrov' (+2-1=5*) missing in the database:

"'...Den schwersten Stand hatte ich aber — wie auch das Ergebnis zeigt* — gegen Petrow. Dieser schachlich hoch gebildete, phantasiereiche ­Spieler hat das Zeug zu einem ganz großen Meister in sich und es fehlt ihm höchstens noch die Atmosphäre der großen internationalen Arena...'" - Rudolf Spielmann (WSZ 1934, p. 116)

Vladimir Petrov (kibitz #264)

"I got the worst of it in the match against Petrov, as shown by the score. That imaginative player, highly cultured in chess, has what it takes to become one of the great masters; the only thing he still needs to get there, at most, is a taste of the international arena."

Vladimir Petrov (kibitz #284)

I will share my knowledge about the match Spielman - Petrov during the 1934 Baltic tour of Spielmann, it may be interesting to many people.

The match Spielmann - Petrov started on February 9, 1934. For the game 1 I found 2 versions with different order of some moves, both are for first 38 moves, before the game was adjourned.

The next one is from Latvian newspaper "Dienas Lapa" ("Daily page"), February 10, 1934, p. 12

Neue Wiener Schachzeitung Nr.8 1934 pp.115-
http://anno.onb.ac.at/cgi-content/a...

(p.115)

Noch vor etwa 20 Jahren hat die internationale Schachwelt vom lettischen order gar estnischen Schachleben fast nichts gewußt. Erst als mit dem Zerfall des russischen Zarenreiches die sogenannten Randstaaten selbständig wurden, begann man das Schachleben der "neuen" Nationen richtig zu würdigen, besonders als sich das lettische und litauische Team in der Schacholympiade trefflich bewährten.

Ueber Litauen sei in einem zweiten Teil dieser umfangreichen Skizze die Rede. Von Lettland kann man mit Sicherheit behaupten, daß es in der Nachkriegszeit drei Meister von internationalem Ruf hervorgebracht, nämlich Mattison, Apsenieks, und Petrovs, denen sich in der letzten Zeit noch Feigin als ziemlich ebenbürtig hinzugeselit hat.

Den größten Ruhm hatte der leider vor etwa Jahresfrist verstorbene Mattison genossen. Er tat sich in vielen Turnieren rühmlischst hervor und wirkte stets erfrischend durch seinen lebhaften, angriffsfruedigen Stil, der überdies auf guten theoretischen Grundlagen ruhte und in jeder Hinsicht voll Eigenart war. Mattison war auch der erste Träger des inzwischen wieder abgeschafften Titels "Amateurweltmeister", er hat ihn gelegentlich der ersten Oympiade in Paris 1924 erkämpft. Mattisons alter Rivale Apsenieks ist ein sehr begabter Meister, dessen unheimliche Schelligkeit im Matchspiel mir besonders aufgefallen ist. Er begründet das sofortige Ziehen auch in verwickelten Lagen damit, daß der erste Einfall der beste sei. Leider scheint Apsenieks das theoretische Studium etwas vernachlässigt zu haben und ist dadurch gehandicapt. Da lope ich mir Feigin, dessen Haupstärke gerade in der Partieanlage liegt, für die er ein selten feines Verständnis zeigt. In den letzten Jahren macht Petrov viel von sich reden und das mit Recht. Er dürite heute neben dem Litauer Mikenas wohl der stärkste Spieler in den "Randstaaten" sein, ist zudem noch jung und entwicklungsfähig.

(p.116)

Es ist bedauerlich, daß man solchen hervorragenden Talenten keine Gelegenheit mehr gibt, sich untereinander zu messen. Ein Doppelrundenturnier zwischen z.B. Petrov, Mikenas, Flohr, Kashdan, Lundin, Stoltz, Stahlberg, Eliskases, Lilienthal, Pirc u. a. wäre aktuell und interessant und würde sicherlich von der gesamten Schachwelt aufmerksam verfolgt werden. Steht doch die Frage nach einer genauen Qualifikation unserer besten Jungmeister nach wie vor im Vordergrund. Uebrigens ist die Haupstadt Riga ein altes Schachzentrum und hat sich mit den Namen der Brüder Behting und Nimzowitsch längst in der Schachgeschichte verewigt. Der Rigaer Schachklub war im alten Rußland besonders im Fernspiel gefürchtet, soviel ich mich erinnere, war er darin stets siegreich.

Es war schon längst mein Wunsch, das mächtig aufstrebende Schachleben in den Randstaaten näher kennen zu lernen, und es erfülite mich daher mit besonderer Freude, als sich heuer hiezu eine Gelegenheit bot. Ich konnte eine für meine geistige Spanndraft vielleict zu lange Tournee zusammenstellen, die mich der Reihenfolge nach durch Rumänien, Polen, Lettland, Estland, wider Lettland, Litauen führte und erst in Holland ihren Abschluß finden wird. Es fällt mir schwer, aus der Fülle der Eindrücke die richtigen herauszugreifen. Soll ich zuerst das in Simultanund Handicapspiel bestens bewährte allegmeine Spielniveau, soll ich zuerst die Spitzenspieler, die ersten Landesmeister hervorheben oder die prächtigen Menschen mit ihrer zu Herzen gehenden Gastfreundschaft? Die letztere ist nämlich die wichtigste Voraussetzung für erfolgreiches Spiel. Ohne sie wäre es mir überhaupt unmöglich geworden, die schwere Prüfung einer nun schon vier Monate dauernden anstrengenden Tournee einigermaßen erfolgreich zu bestehen.

Denn eine Prüfung war es tatsächlich. Eigentlich hätte ich der Prüfer, der Trainer sein sollen,indessen wurde ich der Prüfling. In Riga, wo ich drei Wettkämpfe spielte, mußte ich mich ganz gehörig anstrengen, dabei gelang mir nur gegen Apsenieks ein sicherer Sieg mit 3:0 1 Remis. Gegen Feigin mußte ich mich mit 1:0 bei 3, gegen Petrov mit 2:1 bei 5 Remisen begnügen. Apsenieks ist, wie bereits früher erwähnt, kein Theoretiker und solche Gegner liegen mir im allgemeinen viel besser, denn bei mir ist die Eröffnung die schwächste Seite. Deshalb machte mir Feigin mit seiner tiefen, gepflegten Bhandlungsweise der Eröffnungen viel Schwierigkeiten und zudem spielt er vorsichtig und hinterhältig. Den schwersten Stand hatte ich aber- wie auch das Ergebnis zeigt- gegen Petrov. Dieser schachlich hoch gebildete, phantasiereiche Spieler hat das Zeug zu einem ganz großen internationalen Arena.

Nicht gerade leicht, aber doch wesentlich leichter als in Riga war meine Aufgabe in Tallinn. Dort erzielte ich in einem Turnier mit 8 Teilnehmern 6 Punkte und damit vor Friedemann (5 Punkte) den 1. Preis. Die estnischen Spieler sind im allegmeinen begabt, es fehlt ihnen aber die theoretische Shulung. Schwach sind die Spieler durchaus nicht und es ist nur schade, daß die Mannschaft im Vorjahre beim Länderturnier in Folkestone nicht angetretin ist - sie hätte sicherlich eine ganze Reihe anderer Teams überflügelt.

Nachstehend nun als Künstlerische Beute Reiseabschnittes Lettland-Estland eine Anzahl von Kurzpartien.

(p.115)

Around 20 years ago, the international chess world knew almost nothing about Latvian or even Estonian chess life. It was only when the so-called marginal states became independent with the collapse of the Russian tsarist empire that the chess life of the "new" nations began to be properly appreciated, especially when the Latvian and Lithuanian teams proved their worth in the Chess Olympiad.

Let us talk about Lithuania in a second part of this extensive sketch. Latvia can certainly be said to have produced three masters of international renown in the post-war period, namely Mattison, Apsenieks, and Petrovs, to whom Feigin has recently come to be fairly equal.

The greatest fame was enjoyed by Mattison, who unfortunately passed away about a year ago. He excelled in many tournaments and was always refreshing due to his lively, aggressive style, which was also based on good theoretical principles and was unique in every respect. Mattison was also the first bearer of the "Amateur World Champion" title, which had since been abolished, and he occasionally won it at the first Paris Olympics in 1924. Mattison's old rival Apsenieks is a very talented master, whose striking speediness in the match game I particularly noticed. He justifies the immediate drawing, even in complicated situations, by saying that the first idea is the best. Unfortunately Apsenieks seems to have neglected the theoretical studies and is therefore handicapped. I love Feigin, whose main strength lies in the game area, for which he rarely shows a fine understanding. Petrov has been making a lot of talk about himself in recent years, and rightly so. He may well be the strongest player in the "peripheral countries" today besides the Lithuanian Mikenas, and is still young and capable of development.

(p.116)

It is unfortunate that such excellent talents are no longer given the opportunity to measure themselves against each other. A double round tournament between e.g. Petrov, Mikenas, Flohr, Kashdan, Lundin, Stoltz, Stahlberg, Eliskases, Lilienthal, Pirc u. a. would be up to date and interesting and would surely be followed closely by the entire chess world. The question of the exact qualification of our best young masters is still in the foreground. Incidentally, the capital city of Riga is an old chess center and has long been immortalized in chess history with the names of the brothers Behting and Nimzowitsch. The Riga chess club was particularly feared in long distance games in old Russia, as far as I remember it was always victorious in them.

It has long been my wish to get to know the powerfully emerging chess life in the peripheral countries, and it was therefore a particular pleasure for me when an opportunity arose this year. I was able to put together a tour that was far too long for my mental tension, which in turn led me through Romania, Poland, Latvia, Estonia, against Latvia, Lithuania and will only be completed in Holland. It is difficult for me to pick the right ones from the wealth of impressions. Should I first highlight the general level of play that has been tried and tested in simultaneous and handicap play, should I first highlight the top players, the first national champions or the magnificent people with their heartfelt hospitality? The latter is the most important prerequisite for successful play. Without her it would have been impossible for me to pass the difficult test of a strenuous tour that has been going on for four months to some extent.

Because it was actually an exam. Actually, I should have been the examiner who was supposed to be the trainer, but I became the examinee. In Riga, where I played three competitions, I had to put in a lot of effort, only winning against Apsenieks with a 3-0 draw. Against Feigin I had to make do with 1: 0 at 3, against Petrov with 2: 1 at 5 draws. As mentioned earlier, Apsenieks is not a theoretician, and opponents like that are generally much better for me, because opening is the weakest side for me. That's why Feigin caused me a lot of difficulty with his deep, well-tended handling of the openings, and he also played cautiously and sneakily. However, as the result shows, I had the hardest stand against Petrov. This chess highly educated, imaginative player has what it takes to be a very large international arena.

Not exactly easy, but much easier than in Riga was my job in Tallinn. There I scored 6 points in a tournament with 8 participants and thus the 1st price in front of Friedemann (5 points). The Estonian players are generally gifted, but they lack the theoretical training. The players are by no means weak and it is a pity that the team did not compete in the national tournament in Folkestone in the previous year - they would surely have surpassed a number of other teams.

Below is a number of short games as artistic prey in the travel section of Latvia-Estonia.

Grand Master R. Spielman's visit to Riga. The guest played against 10 'National Municipal Sports' chess players on Thursday, April 18. He won 5, lost 3, against J. Fridi, J. Straum and A. Teter and finished second against K. Elksne and A. Krumin. On Friday, April 19, the grandmaster played simultan chess in Dama against 19 players, won 10, lost 6 and finished 3 in a tie.

In a conversation with our colleague, the grandmaster expressed his impression of the Moscow tournament that he was most impressed by the large number of Russian chess fans and not by the strength of individual players. He sees the former champion Dr Lasker as the hero of the Moscow Tournament, though he was under the impression that the younger generation had saved the old masters by entering the draw. Capablanca has always considered himself the only candidate for world championship, but his game is no longer as fresh as in previous years. Spilmans spoke against Flohr as the next world champion. Flohr offers a draw, quickly, even repeatedly, in the fight with the Grand Masters, as if in fear of fighting. This is not the style of the coming master of the world.

Spielmann said the life and organisation of the Latvian Chess Association made the best impression on him, and he promised to send Latvian propaganda to the Wiener Schachzeitung '

In the end, the grandmaster presented our colleague with his game from a recent Finnish tournament in which Spilmanis and the Finnish master won, with 5.5 points out of a possible 7 points:

Game between Ilmari Solin Ilmari Solin and Spielmann given:

Helsinki 1935 (26 March - 3 April)

Crosstable in Di Felice 1931-1935, p.301, though he gives the wrong score for the Solin v. Spielmann game.

Spielmann shared first with Book, scoring 5.5/7, ahead of Loven, Solin, Krogius, Salo, Seitz and Candolin.
