| Oct-16-09 | | WhiteRook48: did Richter know Rauzer? |
|
| Sep-14-10 | | rapidcitychess: My favorite quote from Mr.Rauzer
<1.e4! and White wins!>
--Rauzer
Bronstein in Zurich 1953 tournament book was glad he did so, for he said <He[Rauzer]gifted us with many attacking systems in the Ruy Lopez, Sicilian,French, and Caro Kann!> I know little of these. Could someone point these out? |
|
| Oct-16-12 | | rapidcitychess: Someday we will finally find the end of chess. And 1.e4 will probably be the winning line for white. So much for draw death... |
|
| Oct-16-12 | | Cibator: <Chess Carnival: (quoting Taimanov) It would seem that Rauzer wanted to demonstrate that in the initial chess position, as in a study, one could formulate the task - 'White to play and win!'> Perhaps he should have got together with Weaver Adams. If he'd ended up in the States, and lived long enough, he'd doubtless have acquired the nickname "Rebel". |
|
| Oct-16-12 | | TheFocus: If he had been T. Rauzer, I am sure his nickname would have been Trousers. Just a thought. |
|
| Aug-14-13 | | DoctorD: He was a lothario who knew every trick in the book, but somehow he failed to a rauzer. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: So he thought his variation of the Sicilian would give White the Rauzer's Edge? |

 | | eternaloptimist: <An Englishman> Good Evening: That's a nice pun! Rauzer was a strong player & it's a shame that he died at such a young age b/c he could've played a lot more brilliancies if he would've lived longer. Although CG's database doesn't have a single game of his where he played the white side of the Richter-Rauzer variation of the Sicilian. Although I've heard that he did introduce the plan of ♕d2 & 0-0-0 in this variation. Richter did actually play this variation however. It isn't as popular as it used to be but it's still relevant even today. The "scalps" of GM Korobov & GM Popov were taken this year! white wins in the Richter-Rauzer variation in the CG database this year.:

Although actually the 1st game in CG's database wasn't played by Richter.: N Mueller vs B Gregory, 1905
Richter did help to popularize it though.: http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches... |

 | | Fusilli: And who is Richter in the Richter-Rauzer variation of the Sicilian? |
|
| Jan-09-17 | | TheFocus: Kurt Richter. |
|

|
| Jul-23-17 | | Eagle41257: He perished in the siege of Leningrad |

 | | FSR: There's not a single game in the database where he played the Richter-Rauzer! There are three where he played the flaccid 6.Be2, scoring just one draw in three games! Repertoire Explorer: Vsevolod Rauzer (white) Sad! |
|

| | FSR: There's also no game in the database where he played his other eponymous opening, the Richter-Veresov Attack. |
|

 | | offramp: <FSR: There's also no game in the database where he played his other eponymous opening, the Richter-Veresov Attack.> A week ago the opening of the day was the Ruy Lopez Howell Attack.. David Howell has never played it. https://www.chessgames.com/perl/che... |
|
Jul-24-25
| | FSR: <offramp> There are also no known games where Thurston Howell III played it. Nor Lovey. |

Neither are there any games in this DB featuring its originator, Clarence Howell, though there are four in the Open Spanish. |
|

| | FSR: <perfidious> Yes, I saw last night that Wikipedia cites ECO for the proposition that Clarence was the originator, yet the database has no games where he played the "Howell Attack," even though it has games where he played both sides of the Open Variation. Not sure what the basis is for attaching his name to the line. |
|
| Jul-24-25 | | Alan McGowan: The Howell Attack is named after Clarence because his analysis appeared in the BCM 1922, says the Oxford Companion to Chess. It notes that the line was played four times in the 1948 World Championship match tournament, and as a result was called the Moscow or Keres Variation. |
|
| Jul-24-25 | | Olavi: <"Howell Attack," (...) Not sure what the basis is for attaching his name to the line.> An article in the British Chess Magazine, 1922, say Hooper and Whyld. |
|
| Jul-24-25 | | stone free or die: There's quite a few openings where the name attached never played them, or even recommended against playing them. Sometimes the disrecommendation is the basis, other times it might be an analysis write-up, other times it might just be a mis-attribution. (Honestly, sometimes I do think people needing a name for some obscure variation just toss a dart to make a pick.) |

| | FSR: Thanks, <Olavi> and <Alan McGowan>. |
|

| | offramp: Many thanks, User: Alan McGowan. After the posts by <you> and <FSR> and <Perfidious>, we have motive, method and means. It's like a really good ending of an episode of <Columbo>. |
