Mar-28-06 Janowski vs C Jaffe, 1917 
| |
| Javid Danowski: 36 ... Qe2+ is not a big mistake. There is indeed a perverse logic to it. White is threatening Bg6++ (or Bg6+, if Black plays 36 ... g5 instead). and this and 36 ... Qf3+ are the only ways of preventing immediate mate. However, in the incredibly unlikely event that Janowski ... |

Feb-22-06 Lasker vs Janowski, 1910
| |
| Javid Danowski: 11 ... Nh6 is not a lemon. After 12 b4 Nxb4 13 axb4 Qxb4, Black has a virtually won game - eg 14 Qd2 Nf5. The position after 12 b4 has been used by a nunmber of authors - Znosko-Borovsky, Becker amongst others to illustrate saving a lost position. |

Jan-17-06 O'Kelly vs Rubinstein, 1945

Jan-26-05 David Janowski
| |
| Javid Danowski: To Chessgames. The 1909 match between Lasker and Janowski to which you refer in your biographical note was not a world championship match, even though counted as one in many sources. It was actually just a ten-game exhibition series rather than a match proper (ie all ten ... |

Dec-01-04 A W Fox vs Marshall, 1904
| |
| Javid Danowski: <LIFE Master AJ> Actually, Fox (1881-1964) was one of the two youngest players in the tournament (Napier was born in the same year but I do not know either his or Fox's actual birth dates). See http://ourworld.compuserve.com/home... . |

| Javid Danowski: The aacrifice 7 ... Nx e4 also occurred in A Haida vs Janowski, 1925 . That game is very similar, with a similar wining tactic on d2. |
