| Nov-03-08 | | Karpova: <whiteshark: game source: megabase 2008: Curious this game is a second time in the megabase 2008 with Capablanca as white and Kaufmann as black.> "The Unknown Capablanca" lists Capablanca's consultation games on page 177 (even those where the game score has not been found) and there are only two consultation games involving Kaufmann: Fähndrich/Kaufmann vs Capablanca/Tartakower 0-1, 1911.10.18 Fähndrich/Kaufmann vs Capablanca/Reti 0-1, 1914.03.11/12 No mentioning of another game involving Kaufmann and Capablanca. The first game is missing from the database so I'll submit it. |

| Dec-23-13 | | Karpova: More on the match against Reti in the Vienna Chess Club 1915: Reti won the first game, although Dr. Kaufmann had a completely winning position. The time control was 35 moves in 2.5 hours and Dr. Kaufmann had forgotten about this after making 30 moves in 2 hours. So he lost on time. Reti couldn't win a single game afterwards.

 | | offramp: His name is attached to a good way of playing against the Petroff. The basic idea of 5.c4 is to stop black's ...d5. Here is an early example: G Marco vs Tinsley, 1895. |

Philosoph ohne Werk
' .. 1917 wurde Kaufmann von einer tiefen Nervenkrise erschüttert, an das Beginnen des großen [philosophischen] Werkes [das von der Erkenntnistheorie bis zur Nationalökonomie und Ästhetik reichen würde] war nicht mehr zu denken. In der Inflationszeit verlor er schließlich sein gesamtes Vermögen und war fortan auf die Unterschtützung von Freunden angewiesen. ..
1938 wählte der 66-jährige - das Endspiel [Metapher] gegen Hitler war aussichtslos - den Freitot. ..' from
