Jul-31-18 Daniel Freeman    thomastonk: My sincere condolences to his family. I remember him as a particularly friendly and enthusiastic person.      Jan-17-16 Baden-Baden (1870)    thomastonk: <Tabanus: "Introduction written by User: tt"> I've made <my> tournament some time ago, and that's the end of the story. The same applies to biographies. But I think you knew that. <z>: you wrote to <Tab> that some of the best information is in the ...      Jan-16-16 Napoleon Bonaparte vs General Bertrand, 1820    thomastonk: <zanzibar: perhaps the earliest know thus far?> No. Winter quoted from BCM 1900, pages 53-56 and corrected a date for a source as follows: "This will be found reprinted in Waifs and Strays, the second edition of which does not give the date and place of first appearance of ...      Jan-06-16 Biographer Bistro    thomastonk: <Tabanus> <z>: Haas has Blackburne v Neumann 1/2 on <July 20>, and Neumann v Blackburne 1-0 on <July 21>, i.e. the other way around as in the games here. Just now I've no time to check why.      Jan-06-16 Steinitz vs Lasker, 1894    thomastonk: <Retireborn: I am not sure if they make these mistakes themselves ...> During my sabbatical in 2014 I made extensive game score comparisons of Lasker's games in three commercial databases, among them Convekta's database. I cannot talk here too much about this, but I found ...      Jan-04-16 Capablanca vs L Vianna, 1928    thomastonk: *Strictly forbidden diabolic guesswork*. If I look at the final position of this game, then I cannot believe that Capablanca continued until move 35, i.e. the number of moves from his defeat against <Luiz Vianna> of January 14. But this number is possibly not reliable! All      Jan-02-16 Francisco Fiocati    thomastonk: The dates of birth and death were taken from http://www.hilmar-ebert.de/F.htm      Jan-02-16 Max Lange    thomastonk: <zanzibar> Reading obituaries is often informative! Some of your questions are answered by the obituary in DSZ 1900, pages 26-29. There one can find a description of Lange's activities in and outside of chess. Neither the obituary nor the tournament book of Nuremberg (1883)      Jan-01-16 Walter Irving Kennard   thomastonk: <capanegra> A very lovely key indeed! And that was a broad hint.      Jan-01-16 Carl Hartlaub    thomastonk: Two positions from one of his games (Hartlaub v Carls, Hamburg 1914): TACTICS: [DIAGRAM] Hartlaub played 21.♕h4, which is a good move. But there was a better one. TOO MUCH TACTICS: [DIAGRAM] Here White could simply take on c1 or he could have played 25.♕f6 or 25.f4 ...      Dec-31-15 Hugo Suechting     Dec-30-15 Lasker vs G Thomas, 1896     Dec-30-15 Alekhine vs A Nimzowitsch, 1931     Dec-29-15 B Price vs A Simonson, 1935     Dec-29-15 Kurt Richter     Dec-28-15 G J Reeser    Dec-27-15 Steinitz vs Winawer, 1882     Dec-27-15 Vienna (1882)     Dec-27-15 Flohr vs Saemisch, 1929     Dec-26-15 Santa Claus     Dec-22-15 Rubinstein vs G Oskam, 1920    Dec-22-15 Biographer Bistro     Dec-22-15 Bernhard Kagan     Dec-20-15 Max Blau     Dec-18-15 Qatar Masters (2015)     Dec-17-15 Capablanca vs H Kabatsky, 1922     Dec-17-15 jnpope chessforum     Dec-16-15 Mikhail Botvinnik     Dec-16-15 Alekhine vs A Nimzowitsch, 1927     Dec-13-15 Euwe vs Alekhine, 1937     Dec-07-15 Michel Roos    Nov-29-15 George Perigal     Nov-25-15 Capablanca vs S M Ballou, 1915     Nov-22-15 Capablanca vs E B Adams, 1915     Nov-21-15 Szen vs H Boncourt, 1836    Nov-20-15 London (1851)     Nov-20-15 Olland vs A Hamming, 1933     Nov-11-15 Marshall vs Lasker, 1900     Nov-09-15 Alapin vs P Leonhardt, 1908     Nov-09-15 de Riviere vs Lowenthal, 1867    Nov-08-15 Saint-Amant vs Staunton, 1843     Nov-01-15 Wolf Popert     Oct-30-15 Alekhine / Van den Bosch vs Euwe / Weenink, 1931    Oct-29-15 William Pollock     Oct-26-15 John Moles     Oct-20-15 Johannes Minckwitz     Oct-18-15 Burn vs T H Archdall, 1873    Oct-17-15 Heinrichsen vs Walbrodt, 1897     Oct-17-15 Lasker vs Janowski, 1910     Oct-17-15 Carl Medinus     Oct-16-15 Karl Schorn     Oct-16-15 H Hesse vs NN, 1930     Oct-16-15 Ludwig Hesse    Oct-16-15 Cochrane vs G Walker, 1830     Oct-15-15 Spielmann vs J Perlis, 1905     Oct-15-15 Lasker vs Schlechter, 1910     Oct-14-15 Johann Berger     Oct-14-15 Staunton vs J Owen / T Barnes, 1858     Oct-09-15 Alekhine vs Tarrasch, 1922     Oct-06-15 A Smorodsky vs A Nimzowitsch, 1914     Oct-05-15 A Wallace vs W Crane, 1893    Oct-02-15 Breyer vs Tarrasch, 1920     Oct-01-15 Lasker vs R Schwarz, 1908    Oct-01-15 R Schwarz    Oct-01-15 Lasker vs J Finn, 1907     Oct-01-15 Bogoljubov vs Tarrasch, 1923    Sep-29-15 Pillsbury vs Lasker, 1896     Sep-25-15 Jacob Gottschalk Ascher     Sep-23-15 Tarrasch vs Janowski, 1911     Sep-23-15 Albert Edward Wallace     Sep-21-15 Lasker vs Steinitz, 1894     Sep-10-15 Karl-Heinz Podzielny     Sep-10-15 Reti vs J Krejcik, 1910     Sep-05-15 B H Wood vs L D H, 1948     Sep-03-15 Robatsch vs Fischer, 1965     Sep-01-15 Paul Morphy     Aug-30-15 Pillsbury vs Tarrasch, 1903    Aug-30-15 Geller vs Flohr, 1954     Aug-29-15 Lasker vs NN, 1898     Aug-29-15 Berlin vs Posen, 1839    Aug-28-15 Jan Dobrusky    Aug-26-15 Pillsbury vs Lasker, 1904     Aug-23-15 Bronstein vs Kholmov, 1961    Aug-21-15 Lasker vs C Golmayo, 1893     Aug-19-15 Mating Net chessforum     Aug-16-15 Gustavus Reichhelm     Aug-14-15 Lasker vs A K Ettlinger, 1893     Aug-10-15 TheFocus chessforum     Aug-09-15 Walter Montagu Gattie     Aug-09-15 Werner Springe    Aug-08-15 H Kennedy / J Lowenthal vs Howard Staunton / NN, 1856    Aug-08-15 Howard Staunton / NN vs J Lowenthal / J Cunningham, 1856    Aug-03-15 C Hartlaub vs W Benary, 1911     Aug-03-15 Walter Benary     Aug-03-15 Blackburne vs Steinitz, 1895     Aug-02-15 Eduard Jenay     Aug-02-15 A Stern vs J Minckwitz, 1870     Aug-01-15 Amalie Paulsen Lellmann     Jul-31-15 George Frith Barry     Jul-31-15 Thomas Avery     Jul-29-15 W Spens vs de Vere, 1867     Jul-28-15 Bled (1931)     Jul-26-15 Karl Hamppe     Jul-24-15 Henry Charlick     Jul-24-15 7th WSB Congress, Aachen (1868)     Jul-22-15 Koenigsberg CC    Jul-21-15 Pierre de Saint-Amant     Jul-21-15 Staunton / Barnes vs Owen / Lowenthal, 1857    Jul-20-15 Steinitz vs D Martinez, 1882    Jul-20-15 Memel CC vs Koenigsburg CC, 1872    Jul-17-15 W Wilson vs Steinitz, 1862     Jul-13-15 Wilhelm Steinitz     Jul-09-15 Michelet vs Kieseritzky, 1843     Jul-07-15 Karel Krofta    Jul-02-15 Steinitz vs Zukertort, 1872     Jul-01-15 H M Gorham / W E Lester    Jul-01-15 Steinitz vs Gorham / Lester, 1890    Jun-26-15 Steinitz vs Mackenzie, 1883     Jun-26-15 Tarrasch -
