Feb-12-04  skeet: Poor guy!
Feb-12-04  Benjamin Lau: No, quite rich actually. A 2049 rating sets him clear above NN.
Nov-11-04  Flyboy216: Best chess name EVAR.
Dec-05-04  DanielBryant: We all can relate.

  TheAlchemist: Ethymology:

Probably from German, bungler, from patzen, to bungle

Aug-10-05  ughaibu: I thought it was from yiddish?

  alexmagnus: <ughaibu>German and Yiddish are very similar.. People who speak Yiddish understand German quite well.
Aug-13-05  Montreal1666: If still alive, Mr. Patzer is very old now and his highest rating was 2071. He achieved it very late in life; so he could be considered as a true model for all the Patzers!!!!

Aug-13-05  vonKrolock: maybe him (?!) was who said: "du denkst, ich spiele Schweineschach, aber ich spiele nur in scheine schwach"

  WannaBe: <vonKrolock> Okay, can you translate that? :-)
Aug-13-05  catlover: Okay, there is a word play with "Scweineschach" and "Scheine schwach", but without understanding German (I don't at least), we still don't get it.
Aug-13-05  catlover: Poor slob. With a name like that, no wonder we don't have more games of his in the database.
Aug-13-05  SneechLatke: Such and unfortunate name! Especially if he ever played in a tourney with another family member participating. I can see it now, him being doomed for the phrase "Just another Patzer" to follow his everywhere...
Aug-13-05  sneaky pete: <vonKrolock>'s quote is great, but loses it's magic in translation. Schweineschach = pig's chess. In scheine schwach = seemingly weak. "You think I play <Schweineschach>, but I play only <in scheine schwach>."
Aug-13-05  NakoSonorense: This has to be the worst name for a chess player ever!

Just for the record, I remember a baseball pitcher (MLB) whose last name was "Ballfour." Not bad, huh!

  alexmagnus: Mr.Patzer is still alive, his Elo is 1995.
Btw. fide.com has 3 players with name Patzer (Joachim, Joerg and Stefan).Joerg Patzer is inactive now (Elo 2175) but Stefan Patzer (born 1982, Elo 2029) has still chances to get some title in his life......
Aug-14-05  vonKrolock: <Wannabe> - <sneaky pete> is right - a literal translation would not comunicate the spirit of the joke... Arno Nickel attributes the saying to Eric Lobron

  Sneaky: Reminds me of a German pun, something you might say after sampling the evening's wine selection: "Das ist gut für Tisch Wein" (that is good for table wine) cf. "Das ist gut für die Schwein" (that is good for the pig).

And people say that Germans have no sense of humor. Hah!

Aug-14-05  rochade18: <alexmagnus> That's funny, you mention Stefan Patzer! We occasionally see each other on tournaments. I played him twice (1 loss, 1 draw I should win next time;)

  Sneaky: This must be the guy that Fischer was talking about when he said "Patzer sees check; patzer gives check!" ;-)
Aug-14-05  Montreal1666: As opposed to "Patzer" the family name "Krush" is very good for a chess player!!!
Feb-13-06  Keksboxer: Hi, I'm a Patzer too ;-)

My Name is Stefan Patzer and i'm one of the three Patzer on the FIDE-List.
