Mar-02-08 | | Karpova: <Open Defence>
I'd say "Szymon" since that's the spelling used on his gravestone.<Biographical information>
Wife: Adela née Kerner
Son: Rafał |
|
Mar-02-08 | | Open Defence: thanks <Karpova> ! that is the name I was looking for .. I incorrectly remembered it as Seymon .. thanks!! |
|
Mar-05-08 | | brankat: <chessgames.com> According to the inscription on the gravestone in the photo provided by <karpova> S.Winawer died on October, 29. 1919. Not January 12/1920 as stated in the Bio. |
|
Mar-05-08 | | brankat: Born a hundred and seventy years ago! Winawer, I mean. Not me. Although it is close :-) |
|
Mar-05-08 | | Karpova: Does anybody have reliable biographical information on Szymon Winawer? A google search revealed that there are almost all possibilities: Born Mar-06 or Mar-05; died Jan-12-1920, Nov-29-1919 or Oct-29-1919 according to <brankat>.
His gravestone is probably the most reliable evidence but it's strange that so many different dates are given (reminds me a bit of the Rubinstein-birthday discussion). |
|
May-04-08 | | percyblakeney: <Does anybody have reliable biographical information on Szymon Winawer?> I suppose one of the most reliable sources should be the small book on Winawer by Tomasz Lissowski that was printed eight years ago (I don't have it and it is said to be hard to find).

May-04-08 | | Karpova: <percyblakeney>
Thanks very much! It says that Gaige's wrong with 1920.01.20 being the date of Winawer's death since he died on Nov-29, 1919. |

|
Sep-16-12 | | Karpova: In 1887 at Warsaw, people were playing in the Cafe Bourse, Krolewskastraße. Among the chessplayers there were Simon, David and Hermann Winawer. From page 16 of the December 1887 'Wiener Schachzeitung' |
|
Sep-13-15 | | kjr63: Who did Capablanca learned his endgames from? Perhaps Winawer
Winawer vs Tarrasch, 1896 |
|
Sep-13-15 | | TheFocus: I would have thought Capa had access to Fine's book or something by Chernev. |
|
Nov-12-15 | | Lissowski: Dear Karpova,
You wrote:

This is not true, I am sorry.
People were playing in the
Cafe Lourse, which was placed in the Saski (Saxon) Garden, not far from ulica (street) Krolewska.
The building, erected ca in 1820, was damaged during II WW and never rebuilt.
The resort sometimes was called "Kawiarnia Saska", see Horbaczynski's book on cafeterias of Warsaw.
Simon often visited Semadeni cafe at Teatralny Sqare, then it's another story... >>> From page 16 of the December 1887 >>> 'Wiener Schachzeitung' Correct.
But the author, who even played a game against Simon, made a mistake.
There was a bourse in Warsaw, nota bene at Krolewska street as well, but no "Cafe de la Bourse". Anyway, I'd like to thank you for your impressive input to the history of chess. |

Mar-05-16 | | TheFocus: Happy birthday, Simon Winawer. |
|
Apr-22-16 | | zanzibar: Why does <CG> use <Simon> instead of <Szymon>? Can we please change it to <Szymon>? * * * * *
Consider the example of Steinitz. Why is <CG> so inconsistent? |
|
Nov-29-16 | | TheFocus: Rest in peace, Simon Winawer. |
|
Nov-30-16 | | Big Pawn: BY Simon! RIP BRO! |
|
Mar-05-17 | | TheFocus: Happy birthday, Simon Winawer.
The French has never been the same. |
