| Apr-08-04 | | AdrianP: I've often thought about trying to outdo Josef Krejcik... maybe a 30 game simultaneous display... ;-) |

 | | Sneaky: <gave a 25 game simultaneous display in 1910 and lost every single game!> Sounds like Ostap Bender, of Russian folklore. |
|
| Apr-27-04 | | ughaibu: Chessgames.com: Is there a problem with the Krejcik-Krobot game? It's about six weeks since I uploaded it. |
|
| Apr-10-05 | | marekg248: <chessgames.com> Really, what was the problem with the game? It's a Josef Krejcik v Konrad Krobot, Vienna, February 1908. |

|
| May-28-06 | | offramp: The Krejcik-Krobot game is still not in the database, apparently. |

| Jul-15-06 | | Open Defence: ok....!!! Rd6 blocks the ♗ on c8 after cxd6 .... brilliant!!!!!!!!! so after Bxg7 and gxh5 Black cannot threaten the White ♕ with d5 as it does not open a line for the ♗ on c8... |

 | | Phony Benoni: Krejcik seems to have had the knack of picking opponents who lost quickly. |

 | | whiteshark: Krejcik is holding a special record. At a simul in Linz 1910 he lost at all boards, 0:25. His clever opponents had invited him to a pre-lunch drink before. .....\\I//.....

| Jan-14-12 | | sneaky pete: From a game by the Baron Von Münchhausen, as related by Josef Krejcik. He also gives details of the circumstances under which this game was played, but they seem quite unlikely to me, so I will ignore them here. I like to stick to the truth and not annoy you with fairy tales. This is not the Kenneth Rogoff page. Anyway, in this position
click for larger viewthe Baron had intended to play h5 .. winning back the piece sacrified earlier, but after .. Ng5 black would have a solid and safe position with 2 extra pawns. So after 15 seconds of deep thought, the Baron changed his mind and announced # in 15. |

| Nov-24-13 | | Karpova: The shortest Queen odds game of all times
Back in the days of the Vienna Chess Club when Schlechter, Marco, Albin, Schwarz, Perlis, Vidmar and others met, and Fähndrich gathered Albert von Rothschild, Meitner and Fleissig, the following took place: Krejcik was among them, better known for his quick tongue than great victories. One day, Krejcik played several games and got crushed in each of them. A very old but kind amateur (category knight odds) named Hirschhorn witnessed the massacre. While Krejcik was everything but amused, Hirschhorn enjoyed it and said to him <Sie scheinen sich für's Schach zu interessieren, ich an ihrer Stelle würde es doch erlernen.> (You seem to be interested in chess, I in your stead would learn how to play it.). Krejcik replied <Ihnen gebe ich die Dame vor und spiele jede Partie um einen Gulden.> (I play you at queen odds and every game at a stake of one Gulden). Right after he had spoken those words, he regretted them and wanted to take them back. But it was too late as Hirschhorn was mortified. This is the game:
[Event "Queen odds game"]
[Site "Vienna Chess Club"]
[Date "????.??.??"]
[Round "-"]
[White "Krejcik, Josef Emil"]
[Black "Hirschhorn"]
[Result "1-0"]

| Dec-01-13 | | Karpova: April Fools' Joke:
Krejcik plays out a middlegame position against Capablanca (Black pieces). An 8-month old infant created the position by dropping pieces on the board:
