<Schara-Hennig Gambit>

click for larger view

Ursprünglich entworfen, um den in den Zwanziger Jahren des letzten Jahrhunderts aufgekommen Ideen der schachlichen Hypermoderne etwas "Romantisches" entgegenzusetzen, allerdings bereits damals mit nur wenigen Anhängern gesegnet.

Die vorgegebene Zugfolge mit dem Bauernopfer im 4. Zug stellt eine Abspiel-Variante der Tarrasch-Verteidigung dar und wurde von dem Österreicher <Anton Schara> 1918 in Wien ausprobiert und von dem Deutschen <Heinz von Hennig> 1929 in Duisburg beim 26.DSB Kongress in die Turnierpraxis eingeführt; er gewann damit gegen J.Benzinger.

Dieses nicht uninteressante Gambit ist kaum mehr in großen Turnieren anzutreffen.

Addendum:
Gelernt hat von Hennig das Schachspiel als Seekadett. Er gewann mehrmals die Stadtmeisterschaft von Kiel. 1932 belegte er in Bad Ems einen geteilten zweiten Platz hinter Georg Kieninger . Im gleichen Jahr wurde er in Kiel Vierter hinter Alfred Brinckmann , Kurt Paul Otto Joseph Richter und Herbert Heinicke . 1935 wurde er in Bad Saarow erneut Vierter hinter Efim Bogoljubov , Herbert Heinicke und Ludwig Rellstab .

  mifralu: In August 1915 Llandudno was the scene of a rescue attempt by a German U-boat. Three German officers, Herman Tholens, <Heinrich von Hennig> and Lieutenant von Helldorff, were prisoners at Dyffryn Aled Prisoner of War camp, Llansannan. They used coded messages to arrange a rendezvous with a U-Boat off the Great Orme.
