Sep-26-19 Felix Fischer vs Gruenfeld, 1923
| |
| mulde: First of all, in my eyes Felix Fischer should be noted as the White player as mentioned in many other comments on this site. He was the Fisherman in Vienna 1923.
More than this, his arrangement is a highly flexible one. White's position after move 3 can be reached in an Alekhine as ... |

Sep-20-19 Marshall vs Loman, 1902
| |
| mulde: This "Willy Loman" Gambit may be correct, and is almost great fun to play. Tarrasch's nice 2.-Qa5 is quite a rare move in our days but seemingly it comes up with an early -b7-b5-b4 and very sharp play. |

Sep-18-19 G MacDonnell vs Mongredien, 1862
| |
| mulde: Why is it called "Bird Variation" here? What had Old Henry to do with that?
On the base of its founder Alcock, let me suggest to call it "Penguin-Variation". Why that? a) To name it somehow with George... is the same as to call it "London...": Senseless confusing. b) To take ... |

Apr-07-19 Spielmann vs L'Hermet, 1927
| |
| mulde: Luckily, I was happy enough to find a few dealing with Rudolf L'Hermet. The author focuses on his subject's exact date of death (25-Nov-1945, ~6.00 h) - unfortunately there is no English translation, and it would be difficult to create one;

Nov-26-18 Krzysztof Pytel
| |
| mulde: IM Krzysztof Pytel is called the founder of -Qd6 in the Scandinavian : 1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.Nc3 Qd6 which is frequently played by GM Sergej Tiviakov (2601) and GM Alexander Rakhmanov (2654). It should be said, Bożena Pytel (Krzysztof's wife, not sister) seemed to be the first ... |

Nov-24-18 Carlsen vs Caruana, 2018
| |
| mulde: Well, we can have a "Lasker wonder" in the 12th game like the last game in WCh Schlechter vs Lasker when the German managed to slip out of the misery. But I dont think so. Both young men can be sure to get a very, very high salaire after the match however it will end.
Much more ... |

Nov-13-18 Napoleon Bonaparte vs Madame De Remusat, 1804
| |
| mulde: Claire de Remusat (= Claire Élisabeth Jeanne Gravier de Vergennes, comtesse de Rémusat), was a 24 year "old" lady, and in these hours she was going to beg for the life of the Duke of Enghien's life when she met Napoleon.
From far it remains a bit to Prussia's Duchess Louise of ... |

Sep-01-18 Saemisch vs Nimzowitsch, 1925
| |
| mulde: First of all, if all details concerning this story would be correct, I as an arbiter would have suspended Nimzowitsch from this tnmt at once. You have to imagine: An unfair player standing ON a table shouts out his injuries!
But as we are told on this very nice site,
