Mar-25-05  pazzed paun: wow-here is an unknown player with games against 3 world champs, a world junior champ,a ussr champion and a couple of candidates- I bet he had nerves of steel and a rabbits foot in his pocket! An optimist could hope for a great upset win.
Mar-25-05  WMD: Barendregt's minor claim to fame was his variation in the Exchange Ruy Lopez which Fischer brought to prominence at 1966 Havana Olympiad.

Feb-16-09  blacksburg: stupid exchange variation :(
Feb-16-09  whiteshark: <"My life has been determined by the move e2-e1N.">

Any idea to which game todays Player of the Day is referring to?

Feb-16-09  WhiteRook48: if he died on January 2, 1982, why does the profile say he's still alive?
Feb-17-09  sneaky pete: <whiteshark> It's not from a game.

Thomas Raynor Dawson, # in 2, Tidskrift for Schack, 1923. The solution is 2.axb6 en passant, presupposing it can be proved that blacks last move could only have been b7-b5. When the problem was published in a Dutch magazine in 1937, 13 year old Barendregt showed that blacks last move might have been e2-e1=N as well.

Feb-17-09  whiteshark: Thank you <sneaky pete>!

That's a nice little story about live-changing effects of chess. :D

Feb-17-09  whiteshark: It looks as if T.R. Dawson didn't know Barendregts' finding.

In <Five classics of fairy chess> (chapter/book no.3 <Caissa's wild roses in clusters> p.13, no.39) above diagram Dawson gave only the following solution:

"The last moves must have been 1 ♙b7-b5, ♘c4-e3; 2 ♔e3-d3, ♘b6-c4 (if Black ♙ were at b6 White would be giving irreal check),etc., so White mates in 2 by 1 ♙xb5 e.p.

The theme lines are a6-d3, e3-c4-b6."

  SwitchingQuylthulg: One more thing that should be noted is that due to the possibility of a recent e1N the last move could have been b6-b5 as well.

From for example this "easily" legal position:

1.Nhg4+ Kd3+ 2.Ne3 e1N 3.Ba6+ b5 and Dawson's position has been reached.

Johan Barendregt, De Schaakwereld, November 9, 1937.

I may be wrong, but doesn't convention require proof that only b7-b5 is possibly as blacks last move to allow en passant capture?

<WMD>,
If you look at Barendregt's games as White, you will see that he was playing the Exchange Ruy Lopez from the early 1960's onwards. Fischer must have noticed those games, and then decided to add the Exchange Ruy Lopez to his opening repertoire.

Aug-02-13  GumboGambit: According to the database, he is also one of the first top players to use the Lion variation of the Pirc defense. It usually transposes into the Improved Hanham line from the Philidor. Hence the C41 codes on his games. He defeated Bent Larsen with it, which is pretty notable.

  offramp: He was assaulted by Raymond Allen Weinstein.
Feb-16-15  Oliveira: Dr. Barendregt was no woodpusher, he held draws against players of the caliber of Eliskases, Szabo, Bronstein, Flohr, Donner and beat greats like Timman, Larsen and Botvinnik!
