No one, of course.
Nonetheless, new member <Polonia> thinks this is an important message to get out there. <Polonia> has made four posts so far, and three of them have been exactly the same post you read in here. The fourth is a post in the Kibbutzer's Kafe criticizing its habitues. Best Kibbutzer of the year?
You make the call! |

I have a theory: perhaps an ancestor was a member of the Vera Menchik Club. |

 | | MissScarlett: <[Source "Falkirk Herald, 21 May 1930; Linlithgowshire Gazette, 23 May 193"]> Just one source necessary, except in exceptional circumstances. In this case, it's the same column which regularly appeared in both papers. A page number is also encouraged, where known. I have amended the above to <Source "Falkirk Herald, 1930.05.21, p.15">. |

https://worldchesshof.org/hof-induc... |
|
| Feb-02-22 | | Polonia: max euwe should not have given rematch to alexander alekhine but find opponent who will pay him most dough! i doubt there was rematch agreement but yet chess was not as professional as today with details computer preparation for moves leading to draws. |
|

| | perfidious: Euwe was a class act. Full stop. The world was better for his presence. |
|
| Feb-02-22 | | Polonia: u mean chess world was made better because of him! |

Sod off. |

| Feb-03-22 | | Sally Simpson: Hi Polonia,
<"max euwe should not have given rematch to alexander alekhine...i doubt there was rematch agreement."> There was re-match clause in the 1935 contract should Alekhine lose. Here is the contract signed by both players agreeing to it. https://en.chessbase.com/post/edwar... |
|
| Feb-03-22 | | Olavi: Yes, there was a rematch clause, but there was one also in the Lasker - Schlechter contract, and Schlechter never got a second match. So if Euwe had somehow evaded the match there would have been little that Aljechin could have done. But of course that wasn't going to happen, provided the purse was there, which it was. |
|
| Feb-03-22 | | Polonia: sod off you can leave on wikipedia really: wiki-PEDO-ia aka wiki-PEE-dia full of wikignorant, wikihypocrites wikioccultist, wikistupid, wikicontradicting, wikiarrogant wikihomopedoidiots where every article is wrong and old people get accused of killing heads of state archive.is/Y0BB, whatever, i wrote what you really ment in positive terms, duh! |
|
| Feb-03-22 | | Polonia: but schlechter drew the match, did he try to get rematch? and 2 points clause? last game was draw for drawchter and the title and immortality and comfy living! then he like kieseritzky died like bum and was buried in pauper's grave? |

 | | al wazir: <An Englishman: Good Evening: An excellent article on Menchik from The New York Times, part of their "Overlooked" series of stories.> The NYTimes piece notes that
<As the 2020 Netflix mini-series “The Queen’s Gambit” dramatized, women competing in the upper echelons of chess have traditionally had to swim upstream in a black-and-white game that not only shuns them but also identifies success and competitive ambition as inherently male qualities.> But ironically, “The Queen’s Gambit” overlooked Menchik. In the series Beth Harmon is referred to as the first female chessplayer who plays at the same level as the top male players. Menchik never gets a mention. The Washington Post also ran an article about Menchik, covering much of the same material: https://www.washingtonpost.com/hist.... It makes the point about how the series expunged Menchik from history. |
