|
| Mar-23-06 | | babakova: Some swede who would care to tell me how Gideon is pronounced? Does one pronounce the G or is it more like Jidejån? |
|
| Apr-07-06 | | Bashful Bob: Gideon, pronounced "ji:deon". |
|
| Sep-27-06 | | Nikita Smirnov: There is some pictures of him in the Chess house in Stockholm. |
|
| Oct-29-06 | | Nikita Smirnov: Or also chess saloons! |
|
| Jan-28-07 | | nescio: Stahlberg was also arbiter at all World Championship matches from Botvinnik-Smyslov 1954 to Botvinnik-Petrosian 1963. |
|
| Apr-01-07 | | barbababa: Å also means a river in Swedish and ö means an island. |
|
| Apr-01-07 | | Chessdreamer: Stahlberg's win over Tigran V Petrosian (Budapest 1952):
1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 c5 3.d5 b5 4.Bg5 Qa5+ 5.c3 Ne4 6.Nbd2 Nxg5 7.Nxg5 h6 8.Ngf3 d6 9.e4 Nd7 10.a4 bxa4 11.Rxa4 Qc7 12.Qa1 Nb6 13.Bb5+ Bd7 14.Bxd7+ Qxd7 15.Ra6 Nc8 16.0-0 e5 17.dxe6 fxe6 18.Nh4 Kf7 19.f4 Qd8 20.Nhf3 Qe8 21.f5 exf5 22.Qa2+ Qe6 23.Ne5+ Ke7 24.Nc6+ Kd7 25.Qa4 Ke8 26.exf5 Qe3+ 27.Kh1 1-0 |

| Jul-22-07 | | whiteshark: Work is the curse of the drinking classes |
|
| Aug-12-07 | | brankat: B.Larsen called G.Stahlberg the best "combination" player ever. According to Larsen, nobody combined Chess and alcohol like Stahlberg did :-) |
|
| Sep-24-07 | | notyetagm: Anyone have <PGN> for <Stahlberg-Lundin 1937>? I cannot find the game in any online database. If you have it, please post it in my forum.
Thanks. |
|
| Sep-24-07 | | notyetagm: The game I am looking for ends as follows:
1 Re1-d1! <piles on the PINNED Black d4-queen> Qd4xQc3 2 Rd1xRd7+ (<zwischenschach>) and 3 b2xc3 wins a whole rook |

 | | Domdaniel: Ståhlberg lost to the Irish international Eamon (or Edward) Keogh at an olympiad in the early 1960s - I've seen the game elsewhere, but it's not yet in the CG database. It's a key game from a "six degrees of chess separation" point of view, because Keogh still plays regularly in Irish tournaments - I've never played him myself, but we've been on adjacent boards countless times. Their combined years of chess activity cover eight decades from 1928 to 2008, hopefully with more to come. I've beaten several people who beat Keogh; Keogh beat Ståhlberg, who beat everyone from Nimzowitsch to Smyslov -- then one more link takes us back to 19th century masters or forward to more recent champions such as Kasparov. |
|
| Dec-27-08 | | Stolberg: Ståhlberg´s loss to Keogh was at the olympiad in Tel Aviv 1964, round 6. Ståhlberg played +5-4=6 there. |
|
| Jan-20-10 | | percyblakeney: <Ståhlberg, who beat everyone from Nimzowitsch to Smyslov -- then one more link takes us back to 19th century masters> One more link isn't even needed there since Ståhlberg won also against Lasker. |

 | | GrahamClayton: In September 1941, Stahlberg gave a simultaneous exhibition in Buenos Aires where he faced 400 opponents, scoring +364, +14, -22. He played on 40 boards, with a new player taking up a board when the previous game was finished. The display took just over 36 hours to complete. Every 4 hours Stahlberg was entitled to a 10 minute break from play.
The display had a major effect on Stahlberg, as he took a couple of months to recover and play chess at his normal standard. |

| Feb-12-11 | | Karpova: From the obituary in the August 1967 BCM (pages 230-231). Harry Golombek: <‘... It is apparent that he was one of the most active and successful tournament players of our time and certainly the most successful Swedish player of all time. But more important is the style in which he played and achieved these results. Style is the operative word in his case; elegant, cultivated, correct, and always with an additional spice of imagination and originality, his was a style that was at once pleasing and effective.’> Found in Chess Note 6947

| Feb-12-11 | | Shams: In his Zurich book Bronstein speaks approvingly of Ståhlberg's pet queen pawn defence, involving an early...Nb8-d7-f8-e6. Has anyone else of note played this system? |
|
| Feb-13-11 | | unsound: <Shams> It seems to have been played earlier by someone of note, on an important occasion: Botvinnik vs Keres, 1941
And then it's perhaps unfair to mention Ian Rogers in that company: Kaidanov vs I Rogers, 1988 |
|
| Jan-26-12 | | brankat: R.I.P. GM Stahlberg. |

| Oct-12-12 | | master of defence: About Stahlberg, someone knows if there is this position in a game of him?

 | | Phony Benoni: <master of defence> This source: http://energetika.13s.hu/pub/csabin... Gives the position as coming from a game Stahlberg - Tartakower, Offhand game, 1934, but does not give the full score. The story actually begins on the previous move, in this position with Black to move: 
click for larger viewTartakower played <1...dxc4?>, leading to the position you posted, and lost to the line you gave. Black also loses after <1...a5? 2.h4 a4 3.cxd5+ Kxd5 4.Kd3 a3 5.Kc3 a2 6.Kb2 Kxd4 7.h5 Ke5 8.h6 Kf6 9.h7>. However, Black should win with <1...Kf5! 2.cxd5 Kxg6> followed by Kf7-e7-d6. I haven't found the score in a quick sweep; perhaps one of our more assiduous searchers can help. However, it's possible that Tartakower used the position as an example in something he wrote, and that the full game was never published. |

| Jan-26-14 | | waustad: Here is the game Domdaniel mentioned at olimpbase http://www.olimpbase.org/pgn4web/an... It is now available here too: E Keogh vs Stahlberg, 1964 |
