Oct-18-10 | | vonKrolock: An extraordinary simultaneous display was that, with clock, by <"the renowed hungarian International Master"> Vince Toth in the Curitiba Chess Club, November 30th 1958, agianst eight players, almost all at twenty-five or less years old, with the exception of Cordeiro and Tourinho. The final score, viewed from the simultanist's side was +0 =5 -3. Ruy Barbosa, Sylvio Dobrowolski and Ayrton Pereira Tourinho won their games, while
Altino Alves Cordeiro, João Carlos Rotta, Vítor Hugo
Bond, Marcos Moennich and Licurgo Holzmann drew their respective encounters. quote in quick translation <"the resulting score constituted notable exploit for the <paranaense> youth, if considered the actual difference between the force of a Master and of an amateur, and, moreover, if relieved that commonly the simultanist wins almost all, if not all the games , in this modality, even blindfolded , as occurred in the exhibitions carried out here, in 1957, by the genial Miguel Najdorf "> More in this article in Portuguese by L. Holzamnn, including the game Toth-Holzmann, with comments, analysis and diagrams www.cxc.org.br/arquivos/AlaJovem.pdf |

Apr-28-11 | | Marcelo Bruno: It is a pity that you have only one game played by my cousin Licurgo Holzmann, but I would like first to clarify that he won 4 times the Paraná State Championship (thrice without a single loss, once winning 100%).
On the other hand, the ChessBase software has at least all the games he played in 1964 for the São Paulo Zonal and the Brazilian Championship (in this last one, although he was the before last, he had a very beautiful win against João de Souza Mendes. If you want, I can post it. |
