| Dec-19-04 | | Benzol: Horst Robert Rittner was born July 16th 1930. He was German Correspondence Champion in 1956 and became a CGM in 1961. It was to be another 10 years before he took the World title, however. |

| Jul-16-08 | | Cactus: <For the most part, Rittner opened 1.e4 and responded to 1.d4 with a Nimzo/Queen's Indian setup and responded to 1.e4 with 1...e6.>
Why is this here? There are a lot of people who use just one opening move, or one defence to e4, but this is the first time I've seen it mentioned. |

| Dec-21-12 | | HAPERSAUD: Epic fail chessgames on the latter mentioned "quote", not exactly high end stuff |
|
| Jan-02-20 | | Gottschalk: Why is Rittner the only correspondence world champion who has no notable games? What obscure reason, after almost twenty years of operation of this site, still prevents itselves from adding him the merit? Will be the nationality, the ideology or the simple incurability of the administrators? |

 | | perfidious: <Gottschalk>, do you understand the criterion for a game being regarded as notable? It must be included in members' game collections--it has nothing whatever to do with anyone's nationality. |

 | | keypusher: <perfidious: <Gottschalk>, do you understand the criterion for a game being regarded as notable? It must be included in members' game collections--it has nothing whatever to do with anyone's nationality.> Quite. How many collections have you put Rittner’s games in, Gottschalk? |
|
Jan-02-20
| | perfidious: There is actually another stipulation: the player in question must have either won or drawn the game for it to appear on their page as notable, which excludes <Col Moreau> from having this banner. |

Thank you for this significative contribution. This game illustrates the strategic importance of some squares admirably.
As for Rittner, he led White to win with the needed strength, bearing in mind Simagin was a brilliant strategist. |
|
| Apr-11-21 | | Gottschalk: Why this postal world-champion still without Notable games?
Can someone explain that? Webmaster?

| | perfidious: See above--maybe you could add some to your collections, rather than maundering on ad nauseam over others' failure to do so. Step up to the plate. |
|
| Apr-11-21 | | Gottschalk: <perfidious> That is the question.
Exactly, this is the difficulty! Games are added for themembers, but that doesn't solve it.
There is conscious interference so that some players, even if chosen, do not count their votes. In other words, the control imposed by the Webmaster is a typical electoral fraud.
Commonly, the players who are blocked on this site lived during WW2 on the Axis-Italians and Germans side.
But that's not all! In his very short career Hermanis Karlovich Mattison (Swedish Jew) produced 10 or more Notable Games.
Apparently, Mattison's games do not gain prominence
because the previous (deceased) Webmaster didn’t think it was fair for a player with so few games to fill the blue board. |
|
| Apr-11-21 | | Gottschalk: <perfidious> Another rare case is that of Robert Graham Wade
that already had 10 games on the blue board, but today they are removed. What happened? Here it appears that the administrators of chessgames.com have considered that a player with a low rating has no right to achieve full honor. Does it generate bad publicity? Can be this case. As for your criticism, I keep included H Rittner vs Simagin, 1966
on my Simagin list
Game Collection: Simagin-Positional Style
In fact, 7 people voted for this game, but this was ignored. you wouldn't have scrolled down and counted, right? |

| Sep-22-21 | | Gottschalk: Surely, the people who denied him notable games wouldn't want him to become champion - which in fact he was. And being a world champion is much more important than gaining the esteem of spiteful people, for no reason. H Rittner vs Estrin, 1968 H Rittner vs H De Carbonnel, 1968 H Rittner vs M Umansky, 1995 |
