Kibitzer's Corner
Aug-01-06  Caissanist: Janowski, who may have been the all time champion at excuses for losing, complained that he was "bewitched" whenever he played Mason. He sometimes blamed the losses on Mason's cigars.
Mar-31-16  Caissanist: From Harold Schonberg's <Grandmasters of Chess>:

<I don't understand it,> Janowski would wail. <I am bewitched when I play Mason. All the time he smokes his bad cigars and spits. I cannot stand it. Every few minutes I have to sprinkle myself with eau de cologne.>

Oct-10-17  sudoplatov: Mason had better won-loss record against Janowski than Alekhine did.

  Gregor Samsa Mendel: The game would probably have been drawn after 47 Rxc8, but Janowski apparently wasn't content with a draw.
