| Mar-03-15 | | sachistu: Does anyone have a source for this game? I have seen it listed as Berlin 1898. Secondly, the same score (albeit with a deviation of 17.Kh4 Rg8 18.h3 Qf4+) supposedly happened in Denn (sp?)- Pervago, Manchuria, 1904. Captain Pervago was a correspondence player and died in Manchuria during Russo-Japanese War so the date and location appear plausible. Anyone have any information for that game? |

This game can be found , with annotations, in Alapin's chessmagazine "Der Schachfreund" Volume I (1898-1899) pages 28-29. It was played in Café Kaiserhof, Berlin, February 2nd, 1898.
I am not sure if there are other sources. From writing an article for New in Chess Yearbook 19 (1991) on Alapin's 3..Bb4 I remember that around 1900 there have been several publications and annotated games on the topic (Alapin even wrote a little book on it, in Russian) so we can consider the course of this game as contemporary openingtheory in 1904. There is as good chance, in my opinion, that Pervago was aware of this. |

The appended game, notes and introductory remarks are from the London "Daily News."
The game was played by two Russian officers in Manchuria on the eve
of the battle of the Sha-ho. Captain <P. N. Perwago>, the winner, was a
strong amateur, who took a prize in the international Rice Gambit
Tournament of the "Monde Illustre." Before the outbreak of war he was in garrison at Piatigorsk, in the Caucasus.
In the autumn of last year he volunteered for service in Manchuria, and
commanded a battalion of infantry in the Army Corps, under General
Meyendorf. He was killed in the assault on Putiloff Hill, in which engagement <Lieutenant Denn>, his comrade-in-arms and at chess, was seriously wounded. From the hospital at Irkutsk Lieutenant Denn sent this game, played at the last bivouac before the battle, to M. Alapin, who forwarded it to "La Strategic": <[Source "Lasker's Chess Magazine Vol.2, May 1905, pp.23-24"]> |

| Jul-31-18 | | sachistu: Thanks <Gejewe><mifralu> for the feedback on both games. In some recent research, I noticed the Denn-Pervago game also appeared in the American Chess Bulletin February 1906, p.23 under the title 'At the Last Bivouac' as captioned in the Melbourne Leader. It indicates the game was contributed by Alapin to La Strategie. A good part of the description <mifralu> references from Lasker's Chess Magazine is included in the ACB article. However, it does appear the article has a typo as it refers to R.N. Pervago (not P.N. Pervago). The 'Pervago' page on this site has apparently not been updated to include his first (and middle) name. Notes in the ACB copy of the game are from the Yorkshire Weekly Post. <Gejewe> I did find your article in NiC YB19, and also found the Stutzkowski-Harmonist game on page 207 of the study material (thanks!). It's interesting to note the Yorkshire Wkly Post offers a different move in the alternative line 5.Bxc6 dxc6 6.Nxe5 Qe7 7.d4 f6 where 8. Nc4 or Nf3 are usually played. The Post suggested 8.Qh5+ g6 9.Nxg6 Qxe4+ 10.Be3 Qxg6 11.Qxa5 Qxg2. Instead, it seems Black can improve on that line with 10...Bg4! |
