Feb-11-07		sambo: He's only got three wins here! Three wins do not a Czech champion make.

Mar-03-08		Jason Frost: 3 wins including one over Spielmann, plus draws against Marshall, Reti, Rubenstein, and Tartakover do a Czech Champion in 1923 make.

Feb-11-09		whiteshark: On this photograph from the <Maehrisch-Ostrau 1923> tournament you can see Walter standing behind Lasker: http://www.rogerpaige.me.uk/histori...

Feb-11-10		BIDMONFA: Max Walter WALTER, Max http://www.bidmonfa.com/walter_max.... _

Feb-11-10		waustad: His wiki page claims 1945 as his death year. Perhaps someone with knowledge of the language might look into the sources cited there.

Dec-26-11		GrahamClayton: <waustad>His wiki page claims 1945 as his death year. Perhaps someone with knowledge of the language might look into the sources cited there. <waustad>, According to "Bratislava Pressburg Pozsony" by A. Robert Neurath, Walter died in 1940.

Dec-09-12		GrahamClayton: Here is a nice finish by Walter, as Black against German in 1926: click for larger view The deflection sacrifice 1...♕c2! forces one of the white pieces to stop defending e1, thus allowing a back-rank mate. 2.♗f4 fails to 2...♕xc1, again removing a defender of the e1 square.

Feb-11-13		thomastonk: <Player of Today> The English Wikipedia has: "Max Walter (born 1899 – died 1945) was a Slovak chess master." So, not only the year of death is different. The Slovak Wikipedia has "Max Walter (* 1896 – † 1940)" and the following remark: "Max Walter apparently died in a concentration camp in 1940, although there is a record of his alleged participation in a tournament in Madrid 1945."

Feb-11-13		waustad: Name confusion is not uncommon here and elsewhere.

Dec-09-13		Karpova: 8th Congress of the Czechoslovakian Chess Federation in Pardubice, August 5 to 18, 1923. Championship Tournament (11 rounds): 1. Max Walter 8.0 2. Amos Pokorny 7.5 3. Karl Vanek 7.0 4. Sherry* 6.5 5-7. Sifalda 5.5 5-7. Berger (Brno) 5.5 5-7. Prokes 5.5 Further participants were Dr. Hubert Prochazka, Dr. Tereba, Dr. Vitkovsky (Pseudonym), Schulz and Mikulka. 50% of 11.0 points were necessary to gain the <Meisterwürde>, i. e. to become a master. This was reached by all participants down to place 7. Max Walter started with 4 consecutive draws (Sherry, Sifalda, Pokorny and Prokes) and then had a winning streak with the sole exception of a loss against Vitkovsky on time (Walter had a winning position). So his overall score was +6 -1 =4. Sherry scored +2 -0 =9. * Pseudonym, he was from Prague This game is from the tournament Prokes vs K Vanek, 1923 (although the report has the game ending after 43...Rd4). The game Walter-Vanek may be submitted later. Source: Pages 209-213 of the September 1923 'Neue Wiener Schachzeitung'
