Drawing on newly discovered documents, Jonathan Lopez explains how Nardus was exposed and discusses the impact of his chicanery on the art market.’> http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/... |

 | | al wazir: According to James Fenton (http://www.nybooks.com/articles/art...) "the majority of the ninety-three paintings that [Philadelphia magnate P.A.B.] Widener had bought from the dealer Leo Nardus were fakes or otherwise worthless. Widener was ready to confront the swashbuckling, mustachioed champion swordsman and chess master Nardus . . . [but Widener's lawyer] John G. Johnson . . . who had been responsible for introducing Nardus to Widener . . . effectively subsidized the partial compensation an unrepentant Nardus was induced to offer." |

Bottom line: There were persistent rumours that Nardus - a gifted portraitist on top of all his other accomplishments, was an active forger of Old Masters. Although Nardus's grandson disputes that notion vehemently, it is clear that Nardus did sometimes sell forgeries. Leo the cheeky rascal, thx for the links @all |

 | | MissScarlett: Kirsan Ilyumzhinov - allegedly - stole a lot more than that. But as he gave some of it to chess-players, all is forgiven. |

Sep-16-18 | | Granny O Doul: "...had also many other interests". What a Renaissance man, worthy of his namesake! I like way he renamed himself. Similar to the late actress Pier Angeli (born Anna Maria Pierangeli). |

<But there was one other occasion when Alekhine partnered someone else — in the highest-Elo bridge game ever. It was an evening at the home of Leonardus Nardus, the French chess patron. According to Alekhine, Capablanca dropped by with two of the men Nardus often sponsored, America's Frank Marshall and the Parisian champion, David Janowski. The four masters played bridgeand at the same time each also conducted a blindfold game with Nardus. After Nardus lost all the games, Janowski remarked to Marshall, "Did you know that if your opponent had taken the queen and not the bishop he would have won?" The GMs proceeded to find a board and pieces and found out he was right. Not only did Janowski follow his own hand and his own game, but the other chess games as well.> CL&R (Dec 1993) p17 (973)
I don't think <CG> has this game, or even if it exists. It would be fun to have though, I'm sure. |
