|
| Mar-14-04 | | Benjamin Lau: Lol sleepkid. Btw, are you for real about playing professional tiddlywinks? Or is that another one of your jokes? ;) |
|
| Mar-14-04 | | sleepkid: Tiddlywinks is a serious game. ;-) However, I haven't given up chess for it. I will be disappearing (or actually taking an extended hiatus) from this site in April though. I'll post an explanation then. Hopefully I can add something interesting for you all to remember me by as well... |
|
| Mar-14-04 | | Calchexas: Someone needs to get Meyer to play NN, both are over 140 and still playing chess! |
|
| Mar-14-04 | | sleepkid: ...first name Oscar. Fears grills. |
|
| Mar-15-04 | | Tecumseh: Not Caleb Meyer then? Fears broken whiskey bottles? |
|
| Mar-15-04 | | waddayaplay: With a 20% win he is almost as bad as NN... but I strongly believe Meyer would be the victor in a match. |
|
| Mar-25-04 | | Vischer: NN=Unknown. Meyer=also Unknown. Meyer and NN both played for more than 100 years, and lost a lot of games. |
|
| Mar-25-04 | | Vischer: NNvsMeyer would be cool though. =) |
|
| Mar-25-04 | | ruylopez900: Vischer, I believe Meyer would have earned the right to the white pieces having a win percentage more then 10% higher. Also, does anyone know what distinguishes Meyer from NN? I don't see the need for two annonymous', unless Meyer was a character from a series of instructional books, that might make sense. |
|
| Mar-25-04 | | Vischer: I think Meyer is NN's name in a different language. |
|
| Mar-25-04 | | Bitzovich: In German. |
|
| Mar-26-04 | | Vischer: ya, German probably. I speak German so I was 99% sure, but there was like a 1% chance of it being another certain language. |
|
| Apr-05-04 | | N N: Cousin Meyer! Nice game against Herzog. |
|
| May-04-05 | | cuendillar: Looking at the scoresheets, some Meyers has names. In the early games, Georg and Christian Hermann Meyer seem to be to listed regularly. Maybe some tidying up could be appropiate. A few might be unknown, but not those with a first name! |
|
| May-04-05 | | Resignation Trap: Here is a little sorting out: J Meyer 2219 DC = Meyer John C = the Black player in L Cohen vs Meyer, 1972. |
|
| May-04-05 | | Resignation Trap: Also Eugene Meyer is the one who played both Meyer vs Larsen, 1972 and Rathmann vs Meyer, 1975. |

 | | alexmagnus: J Meyer 2219 DC vs E Meyer, 1975 |
|
| May-08-10 | | jerseybob: Resignation Trap: I believe the DC player you're referring to is the late Jack Mayer - that's with an "a" -not John Meyer. John Meyer and Eugene Meyer are brothers and strong masters. John Meyer played white in Meyer vs. Edmund Nash from this database(q.v.) And finally to alexmagnus: your link for J Meyer vs E Meyer leads not to that game but to E Meyer vs McDaniel. |
|
| Mar-09-11 | | Robeson: Jerseybob, the late Jack Mayer, John Meyer, and his brother Gene all lived in and played in DC in the 1970s, so why do you assume the player in question was Jack Mayer? I think it was probably Gene Meyer in the game against Lewis Cohen. Cohen was a junior and Gene Meyer was also a junior in 1972, so that strikes me as the likeliest of the possible match-ups. |

| May-26-18 | | zanzibar: Tim Harding, in his thesis (p242) makes reference to a chess editor, H.F.L. Meyer (circa 1874) who worked with Pardon in various journals, and later alone in <Boy's Own Paper>. Do we have any games clearly by H.F.L. Meyer?
(Although I see he might be more of a problemist than a otb competitor) |
|
| May-26-18 | | zanzibar: <Do we have any games clearly by H.F.L. Meyer?> Yes we do...
Heinrich Friedrich Ludwig Meyer But why the hell isn't this player listed in a generic <Advanced Search> on <Meyer>?!?! http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches... Really, <CG>, this stuff happens way too much. |
