  2. Individual Player Names
    Return to Game Collection: CG Style Guide

    •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

    <Terminology>

    Last Name = Surname, Family Name, or primary Cognomen. Basically the name used to index a player in a collated list.

    First Name = Forename or Given Name. Basically the next name given when indexing a person in a collated list.

    Middle Names = Names given after the First Name in a collated list.

    •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

    <General Rules>

    Background from Daniel Freeman:
    chessgames.com chessforum (kibitz #22549)

    Use the least amount of information to uniquely identify the player in the <Short Name> and <Long Name> fields. For modern era players Chessgames.com will tend to follow the name given by FIDE for the <Long Name> field.

    Player names should be anglicized. There is a practical reason for anglicizing player names: Most users tend to use the standard 26-letter English alphabet while visiting English language websites. More technical reasons involve the Chessgames.com "fixpgn" script, which when run, rewrites player names in the PGNs to match the <long name> field for uniformity purposes.

    The basic conversion rule is that foreign language letters should be converted to their English equivalent. In the case of Germanic names (German and Austrian), any letter with an umlaut should be converted to the English equivalent with an extra "e" added, i.e. ä, ö, and ü, should be converted to ae, oe, and ue.

    Examples:
    Böök = Book (Finnish)
    Чиго́рин = Chigorin (Russian)
    Vázquez = Vazquez (Cuban)
    François = Francois (French)
    Hübner = Huebner (German)
    Lipschütz = Lipschutz (Hungarian)

    The exception to this conversion rule is that, when known, a player's preferred English language spelling of their name should be used.

    The native form of the player's name should appear in their biography along with the anglicized version (see below).

    In cases where a player has changed their name, Chessgames.com uses the English version of their name most widely associated with that player during their chess career. For example, Steinitz was born Wolfgang Steinitz in Prague, Bohemia. When he moved to Vienna, Austria, he changed his name to Wilhelm Steinitz and continued to use that name while residing in England. When he moved from Europe to America he changed his name to William Steinitz, but for the bulk of his playing career he was Wilhelm Steinitz so that is the name used on Chessgames.com.

    Nobiliary particles in a player's Last Name (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobil...) should be left in their lower-case form if not part of the alphabetically collated Last Name. However, if a nobiliary particle has become part of the collated Last Name, then it should be capitalized following the rules of English; and in such cases some documentation should be added to the biography for future reference.

    •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

    <Short Name>

    General case: First and Middle Name Initials + Last Name (34 characters max.)

    The more famous the player the less identifying information is needed. World Champions, World Champion contenders, National Champions, and players who placed first in a Master Class International Tournament can omit their initials in the <Short Name> field due to their fame in the chess world, i.e. Pillsbury, Marshall, Teichmann, Rubinstein, etc., unless additional information is deemed necessary to prevent confusion, i.e. Lasker vs Ed Lasker.

    This is the name that is displayed in the list of games returned by a search. This field has a length of 34 characters in the Chessgames.com database.

    ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

    <Long Name>

    General case: First Name + Last Name (64 characters max.)

    First and Middle name initials should be given in cases where a player has not been identified. Examples:
    E McCutcheon
    A E Jordan

    Add Middle Names, or middle initials if the full Middle Name is unknown, if it helps to differentiate players whose playing careers may have overlapped, i.e. these three men named John Young:
    John Young (from Canada)
    John William Young (from England)
    John Welsh Young (from the United States)

    If two or more players have the same exact name the Chessgames.com current approach is to add the country code to the less active or less famous player, i.e. these three men named Daniel Fischer:
    Daniel Fischer
    Daniel Fischer (GER)
    Daniel Fischer (CAN)

    In the event two players from the same country whose playing careers have overlapped, the next attempt at disambiguation is to add the player's year of birth:
    Juergen Boehm (1960)
    Juergen Boehm (1966)

    There is a practical reason for limiting Middle Names in the <Long Name> field: This is the field used by Chessgames.com to search for players, so any Middle Names will trigger a match when searching by a player's Last Name, which tends to add extraneous search results (as most users are not searching by Middle Names).

    This is the name displayed at the top of player pages and game pages. This field has a length of 64 characters in the Chessgames.com database.

    Note: It is permissible to use a player's Middle Name instead of the First Name in cases where the player was known by that name during their chess career, as in the case of the Hill brothers, see F Arthur Hill and W Elford Hill. ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

    <Biography:> Full Name

    The native form of the player's full name should appear in their biography along with the transliterated/anglicized version for non-English names. This includes any/all known Middle Names, full Last Names (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spani...), along with any honorifics, such as Dr. or a royal title, and suffixes such as Sr, Jr, II, III, etc. English/American honorifics should appear with any military rank given first, any religious titles second, and finally followed by any educational titles. Example: Samuel Warfield Peterson.

    If a player changed their birth name it should be noted in the biography section using the French né for males and née for females, to denote the original name. Examples include Nicolai Jasnogrodsky, Leo Forgacs, and Nellie Showalter.

    This name is only displayed inside of the player's biography box shown on the player's page.

    •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

    Useful set of non-English characters:
    ä ë ï ö ü (Diaeresis)
    á é í ó ú (Acute)
    à è ì ò ù (Grave)
    â ê î ô û (Circumflex)

  3. Jaenisch - Shumov Casual Series (1850)
    Regarding: Jaenisch - Schumov Casual Series (1850)

    ---

    <Die beiden nachfolgenden Partieen hat Herr von Jänisch neuerdings mit Herrn Schumoff gespielt. Der Letztere, noch vor einigen Jahren ein Schüler unseres genialen Freundes, beginnt jetzt schon mit demselben un die Palme zu streiten, und legt, namentlich in der Partie 244, ein grosses Talent an den Tag. Die Anmerkungen zu diesen Partieen rühren zum grösseren Theile von Herrn von Jänisch her.>
    Source: [[Schachzeitung]], v5, January 1850, p37

    243. C Jaenisch vs Shumov, 1849 (44 move B20 Sicilian)
    244. C Jaenisch vs Shumov, 1849 (28 move B20 Sicilian)

    Note: Two additional games are given as Games 251 (page 174) and 252 (page 175) in the May 1850 index but that issue is missing in the available online volume, however the [[Oxford Encyclopedia of Chess Games]] gives four games and cites [[Schachzeiting]] 1850 as the source for all four. The two additional games are:

    Shumov vs C Jaenisch, 1850 (20 move C44 King's Pawn Game)
    Shumov vs C Jaenisch, 1850 (19 move C53 Giuoco Piano)

    ---

    <The following games between the well-known author on Chess, Major C. F. de Jaenisch and another amateur of St. Petersburgh, have been kindly forwarded to us by the former for publication.>
    Source: [[Illustrated London News]], 1850.06.29, p459

    Shumov vs C Jaenisch, 1850 (48 move C41 Philidor Defense)
    Shumov vs C Jaenisch, 1850 (20 move C44 King's Pawn Game)

    ---

    <The following games were played at St. Petersburgh, between Major C. F. de Jaenisch and Mr. Schumoff.>
    Source: [[Chess Player's Chronicle]], v11 n7, July 1850, p193

    Shumov vs C Jaenisch, 1850 (48 move C41 Philidor Defense)
    C Jaenisch vs Shumov, 1849 (44 move B20 Sicilian)

    <Of the opening in this game, Major Jaenisch remarks that "it seems to require a more satisfactory analysis. The greatest English authority pronounces in favour of the attack (see the [[Chess Player's Handbook]], p. 151), the greatest German authority (see the [[Berliner Schachzeitung]] 1848, p. 79) hold a contrary opinion. In the hope to decide the question Messrs Jaenisch and Schumoff have commenced a series of games at this opening, of which the following is one. It will at least serve to illustrated the dangers to which the open position of the Black King exposes him if the least error be made in the defence.">
    Source: [[Chess Player's Chronicle]], v11 n7, July 1850, p196

    Shumov vs C Jaenisch, 1850 (20 move C44 King's Pawn Game)
    Shumov vs C Jaenisch, 1850 (19 move C53 Giuoco Piano)

    ---
    Conclusions:

    Based on the publication dates, I suspect these two games were probably played around December 1849:
    C Jaenisch vs Shumov, 1849 (44 move B20 Sicilian)
    C Jaenisch vs Shumov, 1849 (28 move B20 Sicilian)

    With the following three games being played around April 1850:
    Shumov vs C Jaenisch, 1850 (20 move C44 King's Pawn Game)
    Shumov vs C Jaenisch, 1850 (19 move C53 Giuoco Piano)
    Shumov vs C Jaenisch, 1850 (48 move C41 Philidor Defense)

    With the Scotch game (20 move C44 King's Pawn Game) being part of a series of games played to test Scotch Game opening theory based on the statement published in the [[Chess Player's Chronicle]]. None of these games appears to have been played in any type of formal match, and only one games appears to come from theoretical series. The others would appear to be offhand, i.e. casual, games.

  11. Lasker Simul 22b, Stirling
    1899.01.07 Lasker Simul 22b, Stirling (1899) (+21=0-1)

    On Saturday afternoon, as arranged, Herr Lasker, chess champion of the world, paid a visit to Stirling under the auspices of the local chess club, and everything passed off with the greatest success... Play commenced at 3.30... To see Mr Lasker strolling between the parallel tables at which his opponents were seated, one would imagine that he considered it a small matter to pit himself against the mental energy and activity of twenty-two fairly skilled and experienced antagonist simultaneously... At the close of the play, which lasted a little over three hours, Mr J. B. Richardson, president of the Scottish Chess Association, and honorary president of the Stirling Club, announced the result as 21 wins for Mr Lasker and 1 loss, and congratulated the champion on his great achievement, whilst not forgetting to compliment Mr Henderson on his noticeable performance.

    Mr. Lasker played simultaneously against twenty-four members of the City of London Chess Club on Tuesday evening. Starting at a little after six o'clock, he completed his heavy task in less than six hours—heavy task we say, because he had a number of first-class amateurs pitted against him.

    ...whilst Mr. Lasker's simultaneous play on Tuesday attracted a large number of members and visitors. Starting a little after six o'clock, he was opposed by a team of 24 members. The top boards were occupied by Dr. Bliden, Messrs. Curnock, Leon, Busse, and Leye. After a little less than six hours, he won 18, drew four, and lost one game, against Mr. Leye.

    Mr. Lasker, the world's chess champion, visited Birmingham yesterday for the second time under the auspices of the Central Chess Club. A simultaneous display was the feature of the visit, and this began at 7 o'clock last evening at the Grand Hotel. Some twenty-five players sat down to face the champion, but the calibre of these, taken as a whole, was but slight. Of course, Mr. Lasker could not very well know this, and so would probably be accounted for the extreme caution which he displayed in his openings. Play was rather dull and slow, and was seldom enlivened by any of the jocular touches with which Mr. Blackburne, for instance, is in the habit of entertaining his audience. Eleven o'clock came and found quite half the games in the mid-game stage, and the spectators dispersed without any definite decision either way being come to with regard to some of the games. As far as could be made out, the only winner against Mr. Lasker was Mr. Joseph Moore of the Central C.C.

    ...the knight of the chess board played 25. Of this number he only lost one, and his proud victor in this contest was Mr. Joseph Moore. Unfortunately there was not time to finish all the games, and at the close the scoreres had to strike an average of probabilities and adjudge certain games draws. It was difficult to find what the actual result was; but the following gentlemen, possibily more, are held to have made a draw:—Messrs. C. W. Wilkins, R. Donald, F. H. Bill, O. H. Labone, F. J. Burgoyne, J. Savage, C. Reed, and J. Davison.

    Play took place in the Athenæum... Mr Lasker gave an exceedingly interesting exhibition, and played so rapidly and decisively that in three hours he had won twenty-three of the twenty-five games which he undertook. The other two encounters were drawn. These were played by Messrs W. N. Paton and Peter B. M. Roberts... The player who gave Mr Lasker most trouble was Mr J. Borthwick, who in an ending from the Sicilian opening was a pawn to the good. Having to face the chaampion [sic] alone at the close, Mr Borthwick was overpowered, and his game added to the list of Mr Lasker's wins.

    In Glasgow on Thursday he tackled 25 opponents simultaneously. He won 23 of these, and for want of time allowed two to draw.
