| Jun-15-12 | | Brassica oleracea: The colours are wrong, and moves are missing.
White was Josef Benzinger, Black was Heinz von Hennig (1883-1947, Captain Lieutanant of a submarine in World War I, Counter Admiral till 1931, reactivated in World War II, co-inventor of the Schara-Hennig-Gambit, playing it the first time in this game, see http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinz_...). The moves 24 Nd5+ Ke6 25 Nf4+ Kf7 26 b3 Bb2 27 Kf2 Bxc1 28 Rxc1 Ne5 29 h4 Rhd8 30 Be1 Nd3+ 31 Nxd3 Bxd3 32 Ra1 Rc2+ 33 Kg1 Rdc8 0-1 are missing (see Tim Harding on http://www.chesscafe.com/text/kibit..., who seems to use Eric Schiller's book on the Schara-Hennig-Gambit as his source) |

| Jul-14-20 | | Alan McGowan: Apart from Harding and Schiller, the full score of the game was published in the August 1929 Deutsche Schachzeitung, pp243-4. This significant game belongs in the page devoted to Heinrich von Hennig, as was pointed out by whiteshark in August 2019. |
|
| Jan-07-24 | | Historiker: Where was the game played? Benzinger did not take part in the tournament! Wiener Schachzeitung 1929, p364 gives the final result in Hauptturnier B:
Van Nüss, Engels and Rödl each 6, Von Henning 5,5, Kramer 4, W. Koch 3,5, Eppers and Reinhardt 2 each, Sikorski 1.
Adds up to 36 Points in a full table with 9 players.
No Benzinger. Wikipedia and Tim Harding must be wrong. A free game? |
|
| Jan-07-24 | | Historiker: The introduction of the Schara-Henning-Gambit took place in the game Eppers-Von Henning. |
|
| Jan-07-24 | | Alan McGowan: The Deutsche Schachblaetter 1929 gives all the relevant crosstables. There were three groups in each of Hauptturnier A and B, followed by two winners' groups. Page 228 shows the crosstable for Hauptturnier B, Group 1 (eight players). It included Benzinger and von Hennig, with the latter recorded as winning their game. Benzinger scored 2½, failing to qualify for a final group. Von Hennig ss' Group B.cored 4½ and moved on to Winners' Group B. |

| Jan-07-24 | | stone free or die: <<Alan McGowan> This significant game belongs in the page devoted to Heinrich von Hennig, as was pointed out by whiteshark in August 2019.> Well, the game now belongs to <Heinrich von Hennig> - which causes me to ask who it belonged to before? (*) Also, where is (or was?) the comment by <whiteshark>? It seems to currently be missing.
(*) One might just think this is pedantic at first - but I like to know which db has what games. So knowing the misidentification would allow me to search other online DB's, like <CB>, <365chess> and <NIC> to see if they also have the error. |
