 | | diagonal: A trilogy, between January and March 2020, three former Candidate's (World Chess Championship Contenders) are celebrating their 85th birthday: the legends Fridrik Olafsson (born in January 1935), Oscar Panno, and Wolfgang Uhlmann (both born in March 1935). Health and Happiness to Wolfgang Uhlmann, who turns 85 today! <Plötzlich Grossmeister!> (Suddenly a Grandmaster, extract from an interview, 1:06 min., in german language): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAG...
Uhlmann is remembering when he got the GM title by FIDE in 1959 after being invited and winning at Hastings a first time, and subsequently became further international invitation, and privileges in his own country, then East Germany. You can feel his excitement even now, when he is explaining what a grandmaster title does mean :) Well, around the year 1960 there were only about 60 living chess grandmasters throughout the world, not all were active (and some of the "Glorious 27" had already died: Maroczy in 1951, Mieses in 1954, Tartakower in 1956, Duras in 1957; Levenfish and Rubinstein died in 1961, Ragozin, Grünfeld, Vidmar, and Bernstein all died in 1962), plus Bogoljubov, GM in 1951 who died in 1952. GM Uhlmann calls <Hastings> in England his <Chocolate Tournament>, no other tournament (series) had such an impact for his chess career! He is a rare <triple sole or shared winner at Hastings Congress>, in these days a prestigious event: Uhlmann won in 1958/59 outright (ahead of Portisch), in 1965/66 (shared with Spassky), and tied for first again (with Bronstein and Hort) at Hastings Chess Congress 1975/76, ahead of Korchnoi. In addition, Uhlmann was runner-up at Hastings on four occasions: in 1959/60 (shared with Averbakh, behind winner Gligoric), in 1966/67 (behind winner Botvinnik), in 1970/71 (shared second, behind winner Portisch), and 1972/73 (behind winner Larsen). |

 | | wordfunph: rest in peace, GM Wolfgang Uhlmann.. |
|
Aug-28-20
| | norami: With Uhlmann’s passing there are now only ten living players who have defeated Fischer in tournament games, and only six after he started playing internationally in 1958. |
|
Aug-28-20
 | | Benzol: Ivkov and Spassky are the only two that immediately come to mind. Who are the others? |
|
Aug-28-20
 | | Retireborn: Kovacevic, Gheorghiu, Olfasson? (not sure if they are still alive) |
|
Aug-28-20
 | | perfidious: <Retireborn>, all are still with us. |
|
Aug-28-20
 | | vonKrolock: Dieter Keller ?! |
|
Aug-28-20
| | perfidious: Keller is the other. |
|
| Aug-29-20 | | Scuvy: I'll take a shot at the other four players: Milton Otteson, Ken Warner, James Sherwin and Viktors Pupols. |
|
Aug-29-20
| | norami: You all got it right. Those are the ten. |
|
Aug-29-20
| | norami: While we’re at it, name the four living players who have defeated Botvinnik in official tournament games. |
|
Aug-29-20
| | Benzol: Ray Keene is one |
|
Aug-29-20
| | Benzol: Lothar Schimd, Andreas Dueckstein and Roman Dzindzichashvilli Does a victory in a clock simil count?
If so you could add Stuart Conquest. |
|

 | | areknames: RIP GM Uhlmann. If he was living in Dresden during the war he obviously survived the total destruction of his city to become the (probably) strongest German player of his time and one of the leading experts on the French. Not many left now of this generation... |
|
Aug-29-20
 | | whiteshark: Another Titan of the French Defense has left us. The idea that you might continue to analyze in another place is perhaps a little comforting. Farewell and rest in peace, Wolfgang Uhlmann |
|
Aug-29-20
| | norami: <Benzol> Averbakh rather than Schmid. |
|
Aug-29-20
| | perfidious: <norami>, I beg to differ: Schmid beat Botvinnik with Black in his speciality, the Benoni sideline which bears his name, at the Euroteams in 1965. |
|
Aug-29-20
| | beatgiant: <perfidious>
Schmid beat Botvinnik, but he passed away in 2013. |
|
Aug-30-20
| | Benzol: My bad. I wasn't aware that Schmid had passed away. |
|
Aug-30-20
| | perfidious: <Nerve> of the guy! (laughs) |
|
Aug-30-20
 | | paavoh: A dedicated player of the French defense, very sad news about him passing - RIP. Since high school, I have been looking at his (and Korchnoi's) games for inspiration. |
