| Mar-11-05 | | WMD: Alekhine writing after the 1936 Dresden tournament, in which he finished clear first: 'The revelation of the tournament was Engels. He not only beat - and beat well - Maroczy, Keres and me, but also produced by far the most brilliant game of the tournament (against Helling). In my opinion he certainly deserved to share first prize, and his participation in future international contests is sure to arouse interest.' K Helling vs L Engels, 1936
At the 1939 Buenos Aires Olympiad he scored +12 =4 -0, winning the gold medal on third board. He stayed on in Argentina when war broke out. |

| Mar-17-05 | | vonKrolock: Ludwig Engels (Germany *1905 - Brazil +1967)
=1st whith Koch in Swinemunde 1933; =2nd whith Eliskases in Bad Nauheim 1935.
Fourth in São Paulo 1948, where he stayed, living as Chess coach, mainly of the "Clube de Xadrez São Paulo" team |
|
| Mar-17-05 | | Karpova: He once even beat alekhine.
just his score against bogoljubov is a catastrophy (losing 4/4).strange that this guy is virtually forgotten now. |
|
| Mar-17-05 | | Runemaster: It's a shame that there is no recorded game between Engels and
Karl Marx |
|
| May-26-05 | | Benzol: Does anyone know if he obtained citizenship for Brazil? |
|
| May-26-05 | | vonKrolock: <Benzol> In this instance i can not give some authorized information. Surely someone more acquainted with São Paulo Chess comunity (like Herman Claudius van Riemsdijk or Helder Camara) would know more about Engels life.
The on-line NIC-base have some Engels Games played before 1930, inclusive one Engels vs Euwe from 1929 that was presented in 2002 as a "rediscovered" Game http://www.newinchess.com/NICBase/D... |
|
| May-26-05 | | Benzol: <vonKrolock> Don't worry about it mate, I'm sure somethimg will eventually come to light about it.
Thankyou for all your help in past, it has been very useful. :) |

| Jun-02-05 | | Hahnen: Hello all !
Ludwig Engels ist not forgotten at all.
His former / first German chessclub hat established a Ludwig Engels memorial tournament (anually) Also the Clube de Xadrez Sao Paulo has an annual "Memorial". Interesting biographical information is - but in Portugues- on the website of CXSP ( I have a German translation).
A lot of about Engels early Career is known. German speaking Persons can order the 150 Year Clubs History Brochure of DSV 1854 (Ebay keyword "Schachgeschichte") Engels Research is going on. Engels NEVER took Brasilian Citizen ship, though he never returned to Germany. You find Engels grave at the Cemetery "Lapa" in Sao Paulo.

| Nov-21-05 | | EmperorAtahualpa: I'm looking for a game "Engels - Consulterende" played in 1943, containing a very entertaining mating combination involving a Queen and Knight sacrifice. Would anyone be able to find this game? And if so, would you be so kind to submit it to the chessgames.com database? Thank you very much! |

| Dec-11-07 | | whiteshark: Player of the day.
Unfortunately I won't spare time today to check some <KAISSIBER> chess magazines... |
|
| Dec-11-07 | | Prugno: I just read that interesting Kaissiber article mentioned by <whiteshark> in its Italian version. Engels comes out as an extremely talented player, winner of several beautiful games against strong opponents, who might have become much more famous if he had lived in different times (for instance in present-day Germany). A very worthy Player of the day. I also found a curious footnote in the article stating that Engels (unlike Eliskases, for instance) disliked the Nazi regime owing to his homosexuality. This kind of information is of course utterly irrelevant from a chess point of view, but in a historical article it helps to shed more light on a player's character and attitude. |

|
| Mar-03-12 | | vonKrolock: <offramp> No hint about what happened. But Engel's partner in that game was the future General Isaac Nahon (*Rio 1908- +Paraná 2000) - who was also a football coach and enthusiastic chess player. (Here when he was Colonel Nahon - at right in that photo) http://www.portalfeb.com.br/wp-cont... |
